Song of Life

Sit and listen
Feel the air
Touch the earth
Let the birds tell you stories
Let the fire warm you
Your mind is of no use here

It’s not a learning process
I get it, I think
It’s forgetting, to remember
When I stop talking
And invite them
They will come

And take up their space
And anything I can make up
Won’t come close to theirs
It’s pure experience
Through my lungs
Seeping into the heart

Coursing through the veins
Unfiltered knowledge of being
Deep in my bones
Uff, not again
I’m doing it again
I need to stop thinking

And just
Sit and listen.
