“You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”
― Jalaluddin Rumi
Bask in resplendent sunsets,
hearken to dulcet birds.
Bathe in placid reservoirs,
be cognizant of your words.
Slumber in verdant meadows,
pick wild flowers in the sun.
Frolic in enchanted forests,
with Earth’s chorus become one.
Show concern for the homeless,
share a wholesome meal.
Spend time with the lonely,
till life regains appeal.
Count every blessing,
even the tiniest things.
Occupy each moment,
put some gusto in your wings.
Skip like delighted children,
let the wind blow through your hair.
Be dazzled by the elements,
indulge in nourishing fare.
Let go of all life’s clutter,
pirouette in the rain.
Sing like there’s no tomorrow,
love more that you can contain.
Stop to smell the roses,
always being kind.
Drink of simple pleasures,
imbibe peace of mind.
