Don't Give Up
We came from a wonderland,
Into this widow’s land.
Our true selves fade.
Seeing the innovations.
In our creative minds,
We long to find ourselves.
Making new moves,
To be who we are.
We forget our endless knowledge.
From our past,
We seek constant growth.
We think we know what happened.
We, in fact, are blind,
To the greatest happening of life.
We knew not, when to be born,
And know not, when to die.
If we can let the world,
Return to its nature,
Then is the becoming,
Of great things.
If we can just know,
Life gives us what we are,
Our reality is in the mind.
We will sure return.
Wonders filled with honey,
The unpredictable waves,
Life an endless path,
We know we do nothing.
The universe, in unison,
With our deepest desire.
And we just need,
Not to go.
