questions
have you ever quietened your mind enough
to hear your body speak
have you ever experienced being in discord
with what you have been told
have you ever felt in doubt
about what has been sold to you
as truth, fact or science
have you ever lived in conflict with yourself
in the discomfort and uncertainty of not knowing
what to believe or do
have you ever sought release
in distraction or substances
trying not to touch your sorrow
nor the suffering of your fellow beings
have you ever wanted to scream
your heart out
but at most
had quiet tears running down your face
have you ever followed your pleasure and joy
have you ever asked yourself
what you desire and want most
have you ever looked deep into your heart
curious what it might voice
have you ever been in the presence of your soul
