Why Do You Walk So Softly?

Why do you walk so softly?
Why are you afraid?
Why do you speak in a whisper?
Why do you stay in the shade?

Why do you hide your feelings?
Why do you stand alone?
Why do you sing only solo?
Why do you fear the unknown?

Why are you defensive?
Why do you cover your ears?
Why do you close your mind?
Why do you stifle your tears?

Walk with honor and dignity.
Limit your fears to none.
Speak out loudly and clearly.
Enjoy the warmth of the sun.

Don't be afraid to feel.
Stand with others in force.
Harmonize with other voices.
Let hope guide your course.

Be open and confident.
Listen to the world's cries.
See from different perspectives.
Blocking your tears is unwise.

COURAGE, my fellow seeker.
Be GENEROUS, but above all,
TRUST in your inner guidance.
TOGETHER we'll stand tall.
