Grounded


Open your eyes and see the sun
Never mind the clouds
She is always out to play

Bare your feet and touch the earth
Never mind the pebbles
She is solidly present every day

Open your hands and feel the air
Never mind the emptiness
She is the present that keeps death at bay

Open your ears and hear the buzz
Never mind the noise
She is silent when we need a quiet moment away

Open your mouth and taste life
Never mind the flavour
She is mixed sour and sweet keeping hunger at bay
