Awaken

Start every day with your song of farewells
But not like the wind that will say its goodbye
In a whisper of secrets then ends in a sigh
To resume, unaware, somewhere else

Speak like an infant possessing no word
Challenging futile maturity’s notions
With eloquent silence and thoughtful emotions
Life’s brief misconceptions unheard

Glide through life like a cat through night
Foot-sure and word-wise and confident in dark spaces
Seek out those paths that lead to new places
Shun crowds and shun bright light
