Close your mind and open your eyes,
let your mind take in just what you see.

the light falling in shivers of gold on the wood floor,
the green green leaves shaking in the trees,
the drops of rain racing down and dancing off the stones,
the dog stopping to lap at the rain water and turning it to mud,
the silver grey bird with yellow cheeks enjoying his bath of rain drops.

for a while it matters not that
the person we crave has not seen us yet,
the problems we face are making our shoulders heavy,
the feelings of fading away and never being seen again
are draining us.

we become part of the stardust that makes our world,
we become the wind, the rain and the moonbeams.
we are just cells that need to feel.
