The Challenge of Our Awakening
Cast into a blanket of darkness
and removed from our infinite existence,
we are born unawake!
Our challenge for enlightenment has now begun!
A fragility that is magnified by this shaking earth!
The opposing nature of love.
We have come to know as fear.
A task once more to fill our empty hearts.
Unfamiliar, we start to question that
which we have never questioned before.
The tree that we saw once sheltered us.
We wonder now, will it fall on us?
The structure that use to keep us from the storm.
We wonder now, will it be our tomb?
We fight to remember we are safe.
We are here, we are now, and we are alive.
We kiss this moment of darkness
to appreciate more the light.
We love once more!
This land, this life and this moment,
for our very small time to rent.
