I Wonder
I don’t
want to think
I’m so tired of thinking.
I don’t want to try.
I’m so tired of trying.
Will I ever enjoy the freedom
To simply be?
What is it like to be?
I wonder…
To be whole
To be free
To know who you are.
To be comfortable with peace that
Abides inwardly and out.
What is it like to be?
I wonder…
To arise in the morning and
Greet the sun with a smile
To have a clear mind that allows
The wind and songs of birds
To whisper mysteries.
To laugh and feel…and even run
To breathe deep the air that fills
Your whole being with life.
What is it like to be?
I wonder…
I wonder…
