What is this world we’re living in
With flickering stars
And Venus the Goddess of love to my left
We’re apparently moving so fast in space
But all I can feel is stillness
And the whispering kiss of the wind
Are the stars simply reflections of our souls?
Constellations of our checkered hearts
Tattooed with past memories and joys
As humanity came to a hault
We’re perched on tip toes
Holding our breaths
Awaiting a new move and a released freedom
The lamps of homes
Light up the walled garden
Who would have known
That our homes would transform into monasteries
And places of worship
Is it the hand of God that touches us all
And reminds us of his greater force
And powers beyond human?
Or is nature simply teaching us more lessons
Of deep respect and what evolution is
To kick start a revolution
And a new way of thinking and being
An opportunity for mankind
To rely more on nature’s signs
So try and catch a shooting star
Then you’ll know you’ve won
The gift of life and living
