Listen, Watch, Imagine, Stop

Originally written March 9, 2007

Listen...
...as the cool wind whispers through the leaves.
...as the children nearby laugh with glee.
...as your heart beats to the world around you, one in the same.

Watch...
...as the dainty songbirds flit from tree to tree.
...as the flowers are visited by the bees.
...as your tension drains away, your mind filling with a deep calm.

Imagine...
...a world with no beauty created by a higher power.
...a place where happiness is just a myth.
...that you are granted no freedom, you are nothing but a slave.

Stop...
...to take in and admire the little things.
...to help those who are in need.
...almost doing and just act.
