Stop There


In the name of God stop once,
Stop there, right there and take a glance.
At the world around you, the trees, the planes, the rivers and the hills,
The men, the women, the children, the birds, the cats and the dogs.
They are not different, they are all the same.
They live, they die, they laugh and cry.
Or stand there tall, facing the wind, the sun, the rain and all.
Stop once to notice that you are not alone.
Stop once to notice that it's not the end.
They were, they are and will remain
Happy, healthy, sad or in pain.
Look once to see that broken tree,
Look once to see that child with tears.
Run not away from what is real.
Stop once to feel that wind,
Stop once to realise their sorrow,
Stop there to enjoy the rain.
Stop there before resuming the journey,
Stop there to learn before moving again,
Stop there because it's required to have a pivot,
to mark another phase and to the start from there again.
