Stop and Listen

Candles burning in the morning.

The scent of dew.
And you can feel the sun rise,

the sun opening up the skies.

Everything made new.

A chance to change.
Constant rebirth,
with every turn of the earth.
How can you remain stagnant?
You can't tell the rivers not to flow,
the flowers not to grow,
the seasons not to come and go.
And you can't tell your heart not to beat,
your legs not to move your feet.
Don't make your life wash, rinse, repeat.

Stop and Listen.
Feel.
We're all one in the same.
Stars are parts of constellations;
Branches, parts of every tree;
People, parts of one body.

Allow yourself to be who you are,
because you're part of the whole.
Don't contain, restrain, or disdain yourself.
Abstain from the mundane.
Your calling is to ascertain who you are, what you are.
From this truth you must never stray.

Stop and Listen.
Feel.
As long as your heart beats,
don't let it remain still.
