Only to be human

Knowing yourself.......

A flash of insight,
A smile from no-one,
A joy for no-thing,
A love for one.

Once a thought,
Through which was seen,
A dance of life,
Clear, crisp and clean.

Shape and movement,
Color and light,
Stillness breathing, heart beating,
Endless love and a shining light.

Only to be human,
But still to know your worth,
Let go then you may know,
The song to which you stir.

Graciously humble,
Honored to know,
The love is the stillness,
The tear is the show.

I like the layers in which your mind thinks .. just like tapping into the river eternal and bathing there a while. I can relate very easily to your writing.

My suggestion would be read it out loud as I believe your word count could be out, this could be easily fixed by tweaking the lines ... I mention this only because when I are read in rhythm I get distracted from the words when the rhythm changes :)

love the wisdoms xxx

What a wonderfully crisp and finely metred second stanza!

Being true to self yet feel the beat of life as a whole; always searching for the gentle path and walking in the light. Perhaps? There are depths in this quite simple but lovely poem.
