WAKE-UP CALL

Eyes on the floor, wishing yourself away,

You scold yourself,

Look up! Get up! Be ‘up’!

But rather look within

And through your bitterest tears

Let truth draw out toxins from intoxication

From staring into culture’s pitted mirror.

See the real you,

Breath-taking, beautiful,

Your song deep harmony,

Your taste delicious,

Your scent rich breeze from bee-bathed dazzling meadows,

Your heart bliss, uplift, radiance,

Precious, exquisite brilliancy will bathe you

Dancing, playful, in pure light as light,

Loving, beloved
