The Essence Of Being

Whatever the energy that I embrace That beats with my heart And inspirits my face That makes me a person And carries my soul I know that it is this Which then, makes me whole Whenever I wonder The essence of being Which makes us alive With all that I’m seeing I always remember This awesome bequest Was given of love Through mystery undressed Adrift in the currents Of spirit in flow So gracious in catering All that I know

When I need a 'smoothie' mixed, I shall call on Gentile, as his verse is flowing, rhythmic and real! Bravo, Mike! :) gw

Hello Mike, It’s as if you’ve captured the very heartbeat of existence—the energy that animates us. The mystery that makes us whole. The currents of spirit flow through you and your essence shines through every line. Blessings, Daniel
