Be Alive

be alive

Alive!
The mind sings, no longer screams
the only ringing is the glow of life
Vivacious scenes for you to scan
Vibrant colors stream eternal

Be born again
through a child's eyes
be born again with the dewy dawn
no rainy day can hold you down
Today the sunshine finds you

camera-pan zoom through dreams
with gazelle-like grace
roam the realm of possibility
swell your imagination
fill the arena, set the stage ablaze

see the day for what it is
and all that you can make it
take the gifts and challenges left on your windowsill
pass on what you have already mastered.
