The best things in life
Are free. It is true,
If we stay true, to life.

Waiting for our soul’s
Coming of age,
We embrace
Change
Mantras repeated
Listening to the rain’s
Gently caressing serenade

At the core of
Becoming our selves,
We breathe
Peace
Seeking acceptance
In the soothing rhythm
To which hearts beat

In the realisation of
Being, that which
We always
Were
Poets and
Lovers, sisters and mothers
We already know

The best things in life
Are free. It is true,
If we stay true, to life.
