The celebration of being alive

Where've you been, my friend, Where've you been ?

All the time while
Intellect overlayed purity, and reason pervaded everything,
Discretion polluted sympathy, and Image shadowed the true being,

All the time while
Logic diluted truth, and ambition took over the joy of life,
vanity replaced pride, and caution limited your faith and belief,

All the time while,
Smiles got shallower and concerns got wider,
bliss became a goal, and a state of mind, no more !

It's not too late, my friend, and it's never late..
To stare at the sky, the stars,the rain and the beautiful world,
To smile from the heart and to try being kind,

It's not too late, my friend, and it's never late..
To live this moment, to like the past and to hope for the best,
To try with your might and to enjoy the quest.

It's not too late, my friend, and it's never late..
To Join our hands, and to laugh, childlike
In the celebration, of being alive !
