Breathe

Breathe Woah! Where are you going? Why all the rush? Your strides are lengthy Your heart’s beating fast Stop Right here, with me Take my hand I’ll show you The beauty you’re missing Look up Never a day goes Where the heavens above Are empty of treasure Void of wonder Look down and remove your shoes Wiggle your toes Be it soft, warm, green grass Or cool, murky water Be submersed in nature Soak in the sun Stand still and turn upwards Bask in its glory Let it warm your soul And lighten the mind Listen to what’s around you Hear the soft music The wind rustling the leaves The birds singing the refrain The water gurgling along Pause in the flow Of a busy day And watch those around you The things you can learn The light you can gain People take advantage Never enjoy the differences Never notice subtleties Demand love and friendship No appreciation of the world Step out from behind me I’ve taught you all I can Don’t grasp for my fingers I’ll stay beside you As we discover together
