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
