Let's wake up

I walk past the crowds unaware
Sprint through the jungles blind
With increasing haste to reach the light
Giving no pause to thoughts in my mind

I hear not the sounds of the way
Nor pay heed to the blocks in the path
Don't stop to look at the frames I shoot
Nor take a breath to calm my wrath

So intent was I on reaching my fate
That I forgot to catch sight of my life
Forgot to breathe with gratitude
This blessing given to me to reach my fate

I wonder how many other walk on blind
With but a care for life passing them by
Losing all purpose of the beating heart
Till they are too late to even sigh!

And so, let's all wake up and drink in
The birds, the bees and other presents
HE's blessed us with to enjoy and love
And embrace joy and happiness by the dozens!
