WHEN PATHS CROSS
 

On the wings of time,
cruising through now,
loving the joy of being alive.

When paths cross,
are we prepared,
to recognize and make the connect?

Nature brings us in touch,
with the answers to every question,
if we are but alert.

If you focus on a distant star,
you will miss--
if you are too occupied with yourself,
you will miss.

I made a special connect today,
a feeling of such pleasure,
can't be described in words.

Being in tune with life around,
letting yourself float free,
leave the fears far behind--

You don't need solid ground,
you must believe what is to be,
and believe the power of your mind.

You won't recognize it by sound,
it won't be something you'll see,
and yet, you'll know, deep inside--
the treasure of your find.
