Life is hard and filled with pain,

We push our hurt on the ones we blame,

Worry and anxiety take over our brain,

Life is better when we learn to dance in the rain,

Rain like tears wash away our struggles,

Opening us up the overcome our troubles,

It’s hard to see through the moments we stumble,

All that we know are only pieces of the puzzle,

When put together they share our love,

Of the times we stand tall when life got tough,

When we look to the heavens above and,

Stand firm in our resilience that enough is enough,

The times we remember when our loved ones were there,

Showing us that we aren’t alone and someone cared,

For the crucibles of life are trials that we all share,

They seem endless but they’re only here for a moment,

In every breath we have the chance to show up and own it,

Most people succumb to drugs and forfeit,

Cutting there life in half their soul aborted,

Never to see that life is an illusion,

Tearing themselves down into fragments ruined,

Not realizing that our battles can lead us toward spiritual fulfillment,

If we only learn from failure we realize we have unlimited wisdom,

Written thought the hearts of existence,

That lay in the the beauty of secrets hidden,

In all the we do, feel, say or see,

Are deeply imbedded in you and me,

In the interconnectedness of life that resides in a bee,

In the hearts of animals and the whispers of trees,

That float through the cosmos in the breath of a breeze,

That the fact that we exist, proves the essence that we are already free,

From darkness to light, pain to bliss,

The love of another sealed with a kiss,

The chaos within that begins with a hiss,

Are the keys to the doors we continuously miss,

Life is a mixture of joy and sorrow,

Together bridging our souls that we believe are hollow,

Where darkness and light entwine and flow,

Together renewing our sparks that proceed to glow,

Illuminating our spirit’s as they continue to grow,

We need to embrace both peace and struggles for together they are apart of life,

Infinitely entwined,

That teach us that we’re not born to survive,

They are the secrets that show us how to be alive,

For both the day and the night,

Are both gift’s from the essence of light,

Shining forever bright in everything that is truly divine,

To teach us the lesson’s that are ever present,

From the chaos to the pleasant,

Are but passing delusions in the heart of the eternal moment,

Now is the time to be ever present,

Before we die in hell,

Unaware that we’re already living in heaven!!
