Wake up

We live as if we knew
that we would never die.
We let moments,
days,
years
go by...

We give in much too quickly
to sadness and defeat.
We think tomorrow will come
and somehow make up for it.

We sleepwalk through life
not reaching for what we want.
Not even bothered by the fact
that the moments that we lost
will never again be back.

But today...you can wake up!
Let your noble dreams be worthy
of your wanting to fulfill them.
Connect with your spirit and realize
that you can do anything.
Don't believe anyone
who says otherwise.

Believe in love,
trust that all is well...
and you will see
miracles
