Feel Alive

As you sit underneath the breathing trees

And as your soul is caressed by the smell

Of sweet mangoes married to the tenderness of the breeze

Look at the spirits in the far macrocosm

Look at your boundless home

And feel how such a small frame completes it

Feel how such a small mind brings the slightest change

Slight it might be, still it must happen

Guided by what you love and embraces your heart

And although uncommon whirlwinds strike

They bring gusts that are meant to fly on

This is a reality that needs to be cherished

And sensed broad beneath your skin and consciousness

A reality where you flow in a bittersweet stream

Not shunning the estuary

Enjoy scrutinizing every detail of life

Turn around, look around and realize

That you can touch, taste, smell, hear, and see

Fathom the magic inside you

And don’t fear to feel.

And offer yourself to your existence

Observe the faces of creatures that walk the earth

All the expressions, the smiles, the patterns, the silhouettes

Uncover their feelings and learn how to heal yourself

Take them in your arms, save them from the cold and wish for their happiness

Afterall, it’s an infinite circle

A circle that reunites everything

A circle made of everything

A circle made of the same fragments, linked by their energies

Give a special place to your comrades

Their roots clinch to the universe

Feel their energies mixing with yours as you breathe with them

Search for the veins in the leaves

Sleep under the protection of the orb of night

Lie in the fields, smell the air’s mellow concoction

Feel the melody of the night and days sway together

Feel your body functioning, your blood racing in your veins, your skin reacting, your eyes watering, your sweat dripping, your eyes widening and as you feel time stop

Feel alive
