Gather what's around us
with all this interference.
If we didn't judge by
politics or appearance.
Imagine the possibilities
with a little perseverance.
One gifted mind might
devise some coherence.
I can walk around all day
with no direction.
But until there's some goal or dream
I'll make no connection.
The soullessness of the techno age
is an infection.
We have to look into our eyes
and love our imperfections.
Come now. Lift your pretty head and smile.
Somehow don't get lost in the crowd.
Everything you do breathes life into you.
Have meaning; live life in pursuit.
Tracks without a train
are meaningless.
And life from the same
perspective is weakness.
What fills us with love
is our own uniqueness.
When we deny ourselves
it leaves me speechless.
