Sometimes you see an image
Instantly, it makes you smile
Bringing joy to your heart
Lightening your soul
Whether real or imaginary.
There's a happiness
In the simplest things
The look on someone's face
The smell of flowers
The sound of laughter.
Our senses are linked
To our emotions
Bringing pleasure or disgust
Evoking a quick response
To be rid of unpleasantness.
We can be pulled, suddenly
Into a memory
Flashing back to the past
As if it's happening now
The mind makes it real.
In the stage of dreaming
The mind remaps experience
Piecing together fact and fiction
Into a series of plausible events
Immersed in a sensory overload.
The human soul is mysterious
Mind, body, spirit connected
Too intricate and complex
To fully comprehend
But overflowing with wonder.
Love is the essence of our humanity
A commonality that unites us
Our greatest strength and weakness
For we will freely give to others
But seldom offer to ourselves.
We are more than meets the eye
We are more than we know ourselves
We absorb more than we are aware
We expel energies we don't understand
We are less than we could possibly be.
We are conscious, evolving beings
Adaptive and resilient
If there is one inherent drive
Stronger than the will to survive
It is love - simply and wholly.
