We now have time on our hands
Like placing the globe upon our minds eyes
For once we’re all given the gift of being able to see clearly
To see what we have and see what might be lost
To feel what we have and to feel what might be lost
To touch what we have and touch what might be lost
So finally as one race, where no time exists other than this moment,
We wake up together
Each day and each nightIn fragility and in strength
With a simplified quietened mind
That appreciates the veil between life and death
That veil is the breath itself
But as we all take caution
And learn quickly
And bed down into the roots of the earth
We hold our breaths and hopes
That the wind will blow this disease
And dissolve
And transform it into a gift for humanity
A teaching to us all
About the raw tapestry of life
Of how interconnected we all are
Beyond Politics and ego of a moneyed man
For the essence of life is to love and care
And be compassionate to your fellow neighbour
So why the man made boundaries?
When nature is the master after all
Where all the Gods and Goddesses reside transparently
Allowing us to reach a point of stillness and equanimity
