Under the Canopy

Just how many times did I nearly forget?
When did my dreams become clouded with regret?
The one thing I learnt from the passing time,
I must return the gratitude and reclaim what's mine.

I'm consumed by ill comfort from subliminal crimes,
I fail to recognize my subtle moments high.
I ride on the coat-tails of others desires,
A third-rate scope leaves me to lethargic to be tired.

I yearn for the moment when my thoughts solidify,
And find substance in what matters & never cease to be mystified.
I envy a newborn's knowledge and its untainted view,
Awareness is bliss but holds the vulnerable truth.

I find myself with a plan but still seek a companion; I need to heal before hope is recklessly abandoned.
I allow time to reflect & graciously embrace each day,
We dissolve together each night as the sun seeks the shade.

In the darkness I lie still and inhale the silence,
Savor the nectar that to me is priceless.
For it's wiser to heal when unburdened of hurt,
Devote your whole being to the lessons you've learnt.

The energy works its magic and relieves me of stress,
I focus on the faint hum that by nature is selfless.
The canopy above ebbs & flows with each breath,
I thank my guardians while my soul and I rest.
