that stifles soul and stops heart from singing
enlivening silence sets our soul free ~
vibrant in the now, joyful and carefree”
Awaken and of Sweet Joy Partake
Oh, it saddens me to see
when dear friends or kin of mine are in despair.
They act so grumpy. Sometimes it seems to be
a stupor they are in, and I wish I knew the way to repair
those who fall into depression, feeling life is so unfair.
Sometimes I too can let things get me down.
At times such as these, I try to shake myself awake.
It does a soul no good to fret or frown.
When a “woe is me” comes on, I must put on my brake.
In moments’ many silences of sweet joy I must partake.
