Let it Flow

Here's a bump and a nudge,  
so you can remember.  
be good to yourself first,  
then others second.    
Beyond your sight of kindness,  
you are allowed to close your eyes  
and forget traditions    
that the world erected moons ago.  
Beyond your will of strength  
you are allowed to crumble,  
breathe deeply as you wallow.  
Beyond your heart filled with love,  
you are allowed to shatter,  
to hear that inner voice  
and forget the rest of the world.  
even in a moment  
you can choose not to love  
the waves will still crash  
you can choose not to listen  
the air will continue to howl  
you can choose not to see  
the stars still brightly shine  
But your heart still tells you otherwise    
In the rising and setting of our sun  
In every waking hour today and the next    
In a chaotic world  
How lucky a person can be
when you readily view them with brand new eyes so easily
