Poem 12

The Gifts of Life

Sometimes all the noise gets to me.
I'm tired of words, of voices, of thoughts.
So I close my ears and open wider my eyes,
And only then do I truly see
All the colors become brighter around me.

It is then that you notice the details in everything.
You can take it all in like one deep breath.
You are free to focus wherever you wish.
Imagine yourself inside a flower like a bee
How insanely intimate that must be.

Author's concluding remarks:
Life has given us the opportunity to sense things on so many different levels, through each of our five   bodily senses, through numerous other spiritual senses, through the lenses of time and space which form experience and perspective, and through the degrees of magnitude we choose. To elaborate on magnitudes, I am referring to focus here, as we can tune in and out our different senses etc. and choose to focus in on a single one to experience it's fullness or focus out and take in the entire big picture to experience the harmony, the oneness. Life gives us the free will to choose at every given moment what we would like to experience given all these things, given everything.
