Screen of Awareness

In this world of screens everywhere we turn  
We're glued to them, our attention yearns  
The bright screens beam and flash all day  
Hypnotizing us to look their way  

But what about our screen within  
Our own awareness, where to begin?  
The screen within is just as bright  
If we look inward and shine its light  

Our thoughts and emotions, all on display  
On the screen of awareness, they all play  
We can step back and observe with care  
To see what's happening, we become aware  

With practice, our own screen can grow  
And we begin to see and know  
What's truly important, what's our truth  
And we act with intention and in our youth  

The screen of awareness can guide us through  
The chaos and noise of what we pursue  
It helps us see the beauty in life  
Beyond the distractions and strife  

So take some time and turn inward  
To your screen of awareness, it's a treasure  
It can show you the way and keep you true  
To yourself and what's most important to you.
