Just Be

This is such a multilayered feeling
This is a multilayered reality
This is a realization of a dream
This is the speaking of the scene

The world revolves around the words we workaround
This world is beauty orbiting in space
If you had made this place
Wouldn’t you like to hear that said to your face?
Why are we so quick to pile on misery?
Why are we so disconnected from the only true reality?
That wherever may be
Whatever has been
Presence in the moment is the only way to really be
Just be

I feel like I know what you might say
“But the present moment sucks”
Does it suck ? in every way?
I know at first it’s not easy
But maybe you’re so used to being consumed
That you forgot how to keep your thoughts at bay
Just be

Let me ask you a question
Is it ever silent in your head?
Are there a lot of things you won’t…
