The Smallest Thing
The spirit of Joy
The tinniest of things
Can grant you prettiest of smiles

A bird bathing in water
A flower brightened by the sun
The reminder of life
The reminder of beauty
In the smallest sight or view
Can be the only thing you’ll need

I can look at you
From a thousand miles distance
And I could still
Feel
As if you were real
And in front of me
My eyes
Miles apart from yours
I could look at you
And be close to you
To even feel the warmth of your hands
As if touching concrete kissed by the sun all day
I’m a thousand miles far so I can’t say hey

Science may say that
something can’t be itself and its opposite
at the same time
But
I’ve seen

I’ve seen kindness and honesty in every other soul
Helping hands and helpful smiles
But I also saw lies and resentment
And at least 7 of them, on everyone

And I’ve seen nature and it’s beauty
It’s sunrises and it’s pristine waters
But I also saw loved ones being taken by time
And illnesses bending people low

I’ve seen our walls protect some from hunger and fear
And I’ve seen our dances and songs
But I also saw, people on the streets with drug withdrawal
And no one seemingly cared

What is
What there is to be
If not a dance of opposites
Throughout eternity

There is an old Endless River
Born of our soul
Son of our fear
Of forever being a drop of rain

What needs to change for you to be happy?
Even though you are its waters
Don’t jump in it
The river so bold

It never ends
It never begins
Its just there
Going anywhere - going far and wide

There is a cold Endless River
And it is called Desire
He was never desired
He just was, is and will be
Within us all
