Witnessing Life

the closing gap of pen on paper, 

words slowly shape and form 

beginning to take certain meaning.

thoughts pour generously

dripping and dribbling

into sense or non-sense 

it all depends on how open we are 

to discovery of life miracles and mysteries.

Life beckons us to take our seats 

at the place secrets are revealed  

and if one blinks they may miss its lesson…

as it invites us to acknowledge, observe 

bear witness to three precious gifts 

we often disregard in our existence…

Gifts of MEMORY 

- bearing vast imprints and inheritance from our ancestors 

Gift of WAKEFULNESS 

- brings awareness of opportunities that lie in the present moment

Gift of IMAGINATION 

- formless futures not yet manifested and ease to detach letting them go…
