In the moments of contemplation
We often crave a break from the relentless pace of life
Longing for a time when everything feels paused.
Imagine a stillness enveloping us
Where our worries of tomorrow disappear.
Living only for the beauty of the present moment
Where a simple serene space-
invites us to reflect on the laughter and warmth
that came from our heart
That precious feeling filled our days,
And created bonds that lifted us higher
We find solace in the memories we cherish- the shared smiles,
the whispered secrets and the strength we drew from one another.
As we focus on these moments,
We discover a wellspring of hope and a sense of freedom
From the burdens that often weigh on our hearts,
In this quiet sanctuary we embrace the possibly of new beginnings
Celebrating the courage that flourishes within us
To step outside our comfort zones and learn new ways to grow as human beings.
It is here that we find the courage to dream,
Acknowledging that while life may change,
Our spirit remains steadfast and unyielding
Each recollection serves as a reminder that the threads of our experiences
weave a rich tapestry of love and strength
guiding us forward
Now crashing down on the edge of this life
If we had been guided or even shown a better way
Drawing our own conclusions-
Instead of drowning in lifelessness and morbidly decaying
Now that the world we once were excited about
reaching a deadline, we must approach
Did it need to be so gloomy, our materialistic life
We desperately needed to achieve
Out of touch- out of reach
Turning back the clocks 50 years
Would we try to do things differently
Doing away with our pride
Throwing our disguise away
The magic in knowing that-WE HAD IT ALL
No dress-up performance
Dancing solo
The schools, churches, and historians had everything wrong
God is within each of us
Magnificent and strong
WE ARE THE IDOL
We were chasing all along.
Perhaps as parents, grandparents, friends teaching friends, we should teach the truth about how magnificent we are, the true spirit that has always been there inside us. Let us consider the possibility of rewriting our narrative. A narrative where we embrace vulnerability, rediscovering the treasures hidden within us. The real magic does not come from external accolades but radiates from the heart, reminding us that we were never meant to chase the ephemeral. We were always meant to find solace in our own brilliance.
Finding peace in our existence, we recognize that the journey itself holds the key to understanding our purpose. Fueled by this newfound enlightenment, we must strive to create a legacy that honors our true selves, allowing our inner light to shine brightly.
