"Well-wishing"
I hope that when you look at the blue,
early morning sky overhead,
you'll see the glowing promise that the stars
have left for you overnight.
I hope that when you are in a car
or a train or bus, you will feel
that you are in transit,
going places;
because please believe me
when I say that you are.
When all the lights are out
and your eyes can barely see anything,
I hope that you will not be
so easily frightened
and will be able to find
comfort in the darkness,
and solace in its embrace.
And in the silence, I hope
that you will not only hear
the absence of noise,
but also the presence
of your heart in your chest,
alive, and
drumming the beat of your life.
We all have paths laid before us;
roads that will lead us to that somewhere
where we need to be.
But there are also some
of us who stray away
from this path and make our own.
Our hearts may drum the beat of our life,
but it is up to us to either
just sit and listen or
stand up and dance to the music.
