TOUCHING THE REALM

Tenderness expressed
Only when secure enough
Letting go of pretense
Feeling in the moment

Living free
Unguarded let it be
Touching the realm
What is real is now

Wrapped up in ecstasy
Embracing life
Appreciating the essence
Enveloped by all that is

Grateful for the time
Spent in learning
Trusting in humanity
Ultimately

Contributing to the positive
Believing in the humane
Knowing that all is necessary
Appreciating the whole
For what it is

So many sides to explore
A lifetime spent
It could take more
To really know all there is
In kindness expressed

Life becomes of our choosing
Leaving a better place
Caring enough to be gentle
Loving deep enough
So someone remembers
You were here
