Just Be

New Poem - Just Be

How will you know
the MAGIC of LIFE
if you don’t stop
to Just BE.

Just BE.
Being free.
Doing nothing.
With nothing.

How, my dear, will you know
the Magic of Life
if you don’t stop
to Just BE?

What do you need
to stop and Just BE?

A big house?
A high-paying job?
A good partner?
A family?
A foreign vacation?

What do you need
to just stop
and BE?

Nothing.
Except yourself.
Nothing.
Except yourself.

It becomes easy to Just BE
when you ask yourself one question:

What if I die today?
Is this a frightening question to ask?
Remembering the truth
cannot be good or bad…

Forgetting the truth
keeps us missing
this moment,
the next moment,
the next day,
this entire life,

until it is too late
to realize

there is no time left
to stop
and JUST BE.

My dear,
How will you know
the magic of life
if you don’t stop
to Just BE?
