The Whisper of Our Soul
I sit amidst the hectic call of life
Encumbered with a heavy toll of strife
Watching other people busily pass by
Hearing their silent but deep, heavy sigh
Weighed down with “what if” on their mind
Searching for a peace they cannot find
Occupied with such busyness of heart
That technology and media impart
Hurrying to reach the next destination
While masking a rising desperation
By chance I look up, a breath to take
And behold the serenity of yonder lake
And for a moment life seems a little lighter
The rays of hope shine a little brighter
And my soul says, “Slow down, take it in.”
“Get back to the basics of life again.
Dig your toes in the sand, feel the breeze
Catch rays from the sun, see the trees.
Get out on the water and jump in to play.
Take time to really LIVE life, every day!”
