it’s the absence of doing
feeling the wind on your skin
watching the leaves
dance around the trees
the power of the sun
and the unlimitless of the skies
abandon any questions of the why’s

who knew blue had that many colors
seamlessly transitioning
for me just to witness it
i’m in horizontal position
while the green tickles my neck
and the flowers of pink and red
seem to be agreeing
that this life is meant to be
just being

what if it all works out
just imagine
waking up one day
surrounded by colors of orange and yellow and red
feeling all the kind words that have ever been said

realizing this once was a dream
slightly different sure
with more money and secure
but look at where you’re standing
and i mean with open eyes
take it all in, this is where you’ve been

it all works out as it should
even better than you could imagine in your dreams
cause this is life
for real

when walking around the neighborhood
where you’ve been living for years
decide to open up your eyes
viewing sweetness in disguise
a glimpse of the kind-hearted humans
whom make this little piece of land
so much more beautiful
from where I stand

it’s okay to not know
to wander and get lost again
to discover a new path
hugged by trees and plants
a river showing you the direction
have some faith in the reflection
it’s okay to take a break
sit a while by yourself
surrounded by cinnamon candles
embracing your love handles
to be with your thoughts
of no judgment or fear
to trust the process
to take that gap year
it’s okay to take it slow
even then you’ll grow

this must be it
the way birds feel
sensing ultimate freedom
in guidance of nature
feeling safety in danger
swirling through the mountains
in an unmatched power
of sweet vulnerability
with crosses on ridges
to not forget death
we stare into the abyss
and welcome any stares back

i’d like to be that bird
the one that lives at the beach
flying through the day
playing with the waves

so close to the water
like they’re teasing each other
so close with nature
like she’s our loving mother

the bird that has the freedom
to fly anywhere
far or near
and chooses to stay
here
