And suddenly the world paused.
Nature told us to stop
To go home
To take a deep long thorough look within
To stop messing with her
To let her breathe
She told us how tired she was
How tired she is
And we had no choice
But to stop.
So we froze
We found stillness because we had no choice
And we dared to take a peek inside
And we saw pain, and neglect, and abandonment
We saw carelessness, and corruption
We saw ache, and stress, and longing
And still we stood right there
Suffering yet curious,
We stood there just a little bit longer,
Uncomfortable, sad, and heavy with realizations
And just when we were about to quit,
we saw something else:
We saw calm and peace and joy in the littlest of things
We saw ourselves and the way we are when no one is watching
We saw love, and grace, and compassion
We saw care, empathy and connection
We saw purity, and light, and spirituality
We sat there silently
And saw God wave at us,
from the inside,
shinning bright
And then mother nature whispered,
Thank you and now you know it too
And the air felt cleaner
And the fog was gone
And the mountains stood taller
And the grass seemed greener
And the dolphins were curious again
And we knew and forever will know
We’re made up of sunshine and storm
Of great and terrible
Of health and sickness
Of love and fear
Of life and death
We are made of lessons
We are made of water
We are meant to live intertwined and connected
We are meant for so much
And we’ve only got one planet,
one chance,
one life
And this, is yet another invitation
to become who we were meant to be
Because the place where we are right now, God circled in a map for us.
