To the trees,
and the seeds
Please believe
The crease in
My knees
Are from pleading
Every which season
You’ll come alive
You’ll come alive
Dissidents,
Revolution,
The weak,
The meek,
The speech that
Shakes the roots
We speak
Comes alive
You’ll come alive
Like oxygen,
Deceit
So sweet
In the air
That we breathe
The droplets
We drink
Come alive
You’ll come alive
The soil
And soot
I kneel
No fear
I’m here for
You to appear
And come alive
You’ll come alive
The soul
It shouts
It loves
And doubts
Your life means
Something
Each season
You are alive
You’ll come alive
Life is an exhilarating ride, full of trauma and triumph, and there is nothing more I want tonight than for each person to experience a single moment of total synchronisation with what it feels to exist. To come alive.
While it won’t solve the worlds problems, it makes us feel like anything is possible, and a little more courageous to partake in the wonder that is you.
Remember, today you matter.
Today you get to take a new chance, open a new opportunity and embrace whatever you’re going through, the good or challenging with a sense of pride that you are magnificent.
