Just Be

Just Be

when things

drop away

what’s left

in each life

there is a shedding

of sorts

whether it’s intentional

or unintentional

we shed

i truly believe

a 3-year-old child

already knows

the secret to life

and all we do

is try …

to get back

to that

that knowing

that unknowing

that place

that is truly free

and pure

and sacred

within thy self

to clear away

the unnecessary

things

that keep us stuck

is necessary

to see the reflection

clearly

the sea before the sun

is like that

there is a constant

way

in which it moves

that fills the eye

with the same scene

of centuries past

the water ripples

across

reaching forth

and retreating back

flowing continuously

like music

like wind

the sea is a symphony

a song within a song

and when you’re 3

you carry the sea

with you

at all times

no matter where

you go

or who

you’re with

everything flows

effortlessly
