Have You Wondered Why

- January 01, 2017

Have you ever watched the kite sail into the sky?

Have you ever dropped a stone into the river and watched it sink?

Have you ever waited long for a promise that never came?

Have you ever asked what it is to learn

From the flying kite

From the sinking stone

From the forgotten promise

The kite tells you my friend

That the height is meant for the light

If you want to soar so high

Then rid yourself of all weight of bitterness

Your heart of all worries

For a heavy soul will flounder

And an overloaded man will sink

Just like the sinking stone.

Trust less

In such way will you avoid much disappointment.

These are the lessons weaved in the fabrics of nature.

Next time when you see a bird flipped over the sky

Into the cloud and lost

Then remember this

Not all that comes to you has come to stay

Some are just meant to be part of your past.

So learn to let go.

The next time you go through the hills

And you watch the lilies grow

Do not forget to ask yourself

What are there to learn from nature

In such way will your mortal mind be tutored

By the wisdom imprinted upon the skin of nature
