I can hear you
Isn’t that the way?
You are here for me
And I hear you at the same time.
Come with me
Let me tell you this tale…
Once there was one
Who loved another
In such a way
That
All his hard earned cash
Was consumed
In pursuit of her attention
Little did he know
That money had so little value to her
That all his efforts to
Flatter
Flash
And
Dignify his grand existence
Went unnoticed
She has her eyes on the heart
Listening for that love
He, his hand on his purse
So that their ideals never met
She didn’t know he existed
His presence
Was of no interest to her
Whatsoever
Unseen
Unheard of
Completely invisible
Until
One day she crashed into him
In a way
There he was
Indulged in a pursuit
Of kindness
Unaware of her presence
No longer engaged in the act
To impress
Simply offering a gentle hand
To another
And in that selfless act
He turned her head
Unwittingly
It was his grandmother
In fact,
Someone he loved
Someone for whom
Gentle loving kindness flowed
Easily
Without thought
Without grandeur
Without flash
Simple warmth and love
These are the qualities she could recognize as ones
Within her sphere to open to
There, in this selfless gesture
She turned her head to see a spark of light
Well worth attending to
Let go of the fear of not being good enough
Let down the facade of self importance
Look out and see what light you can shine on the lives of others
As it is in these acts of selfless kindness
That your true light can be seen
By all those around you
With eyes to see
Be the one you’re looking for
But do it in such as way
That you hardly notice yourself
Amen to simplicity
Let the world come to you
Lit by the blazing path
That is the beautiful light you shine
Let the world come to you
Following the beauty
And the light
That is you
Shining out in all directions
Without ego
Let go of ‘you’
So your inner light can shine through
