Emotional Tapestries
She danced and sang like no one was watching
They ravenously gather for the show
Humanities insatiable appetites
The follies of mankind’s emotional tapestries, who would have ever known
The extreme need for heighten trivial stimulation
The misery of the same; the mundane
Heaven forbid we sit here in this very moment
God’s true miracle; life appears to be made in vain
The external seeking of emotional delights
The sinking spells; awareness of nothing to grasp, nothing to hold
The poor desolate preoccupied mind
Nothing meaningful; life’s empty, calloused, cold
Appreciation of life in this very moment
Awareness of the living facts, the living truths
Valued internal experiences
Ironically, we are the savior we never knew
Enjoy; relish in all that life has to offer
Take great pride; esteem in all things we do
Be fully immersed; living in this special moment
Heaven presides; the wisdom of now is the eternal truth
