The Greatest Gift of Life

The Greatest Gift of Life
Is the Magic of the
Multiverse planetary cosmos
The Blue Dot
Aka Mother Earth

In our relentless pursuit
For more of 
The materialistic and mechanistic
The pretension and incapability of playing Creator
Of the Dead and Undead

We forgot how to
Listen, Feel, Look, Sense, Breathe
The Magic, Mystery, and Meaningness of Life
That is within us
That surrounds us

We forgot our
Deep Connection via
Roots to the planet earth and Water of Life 
Beneath our bare feet
Reach to the Skies above our heads

We have divorced from
That Exquisite Balance of Mother Earth
Our Ultimate Teacher and Elder
While we burn in the Hell
Of our relentless, mindless pursuit for excess

Blind to the Ultimate Gift of Life
We are the walking blind
The walking dead
Obsessed with
Living within four walls of artificiality

Yet

It’s all there
If we dare to cultivate 
Humility
Open our eyes, ears, senses, mind
To connect deeply 

With the Greatest Gift of Life
