but if we are nothing but matter alone
in such the grand scheme of things
why do we not acknowledge all this apparent beauty
succumb to all the savory tastes
douse ourselves in the wildest of fragrances
why do we not indulge in an eclectic symphony of soundsÂ
truly feel the warmth of a loving gesture that comforts to touch
all of which fill our very short but memorable existence
all that make light of never ending darkness
that which filters through and through
as transparent as the look in their eyes
when they steady their gaze on you
envious of your fortune and tragically removed from their own
why focus on the blurred path of those surrounding
with such abundance of untouched gravel at your feet
and to this, my dear friends, i have come to conclude
that to see all the wonders in this world
to whole heartedly become what we are made of
to fully realize what part we are to a whole waiting to be complete
we must journey deep withinÂ
and all the way through
we must challenge ourselves
and seek the embrace
of all true meanings and hopes that are our own
