There is a vitality,
a source of life,
that bounces up and down
within my trembling soul.

Wake up.
Stay alive.
Hear your heart beat.
Become plasma for the world.

Begin again.
Again and again
touch the tulip,
smell the rose.

Dissolve distractions.
Listen, listen:
Earth speaks
of joy and laughter

Notice sacredness
dance among the stars,
illuminate
the night.

Peer into the great abyss.
Discover there
a great surprise
only you could know.
