Gift of Life
I am Life.
All of the universe is alive inside of me
I open my arms and accept the gift
and joy of life.
All the happiness and the sorrows
I welcome
for they embody life.
But you,
I reject you and all your cold feelings,
straight lines, corners,
gray dreary buildings
living but really dead
you don’t accept the gift
so go on living in a death
that you claim is life.
I reject it all!
I leave your brain washings
and cold narrow minded teachings
in the middle of the straight, cold,
gray street.
I do not walk along your roads
instead I make my own
under the moon, sun and stars
I welcome and worship life.
I run through the woods in the moonlight
dance among the stars
leap through the ocean waves under the sun
and feed the fire of life inside of me.
The sun is my teacher
the stars my friends
and the moon fills me with love
that will never end.
I rejoice in the glory of life
in the freedom of living.
And I beg you to join me
to become free
and embrace all that life can give you.
I try to take your hand
and show you my world
but you lock yourself up
in your cold harsh buildings
alien and devoid of life.
You hide behind your brainwashings,
refusing to think for yourself
and believe what you want.
But if you wish to be free
full and truly
follow me,
and I shall show you
the path that leads to life
and all the joys and wonders.
But no, you sit there
all of you
and become even more devoid
of the fires that should twinkle
inside us all.
And so I weep
and find solace in the earth
and as the moon folds me in her love
I only wish
that you could know and experience
such life as this.
For how can one live, if you are not free?
So if you change your mind
remember,
I shall always be here
waiting
for you to come
and accept my gift
of life.
