woke up depressed today
no reason to awake

put the dishes in the washer
fed me some processed food

sat down in front of a screen
thought of my obligations today

glanced over at the window
the sun sneaking through the cover

remembered it's up to me
drew the veil to the side

looked far across our vast soil
sun making a big sky blue

be a human today
be alive and involved in this beautiful miracle of existence

think no more of your role acquired and enforced in this society
leave your routine behind and
let's run across the surface of the earth today

grant awareness of the breath
embrace our place today

drink of the water
taste of the fruit
indulge in the laughter
share the moment with a companion

I took a look at the world
and I awed
unfathomable gratitude
for I have been included in the mix
