When it comes uninvited

It’s so subtle, it’s rarely sighted

Towing our precious lifeline

Giving us the chance to shine

Working without glitter and glamour

In silence, the uninvited does not clamor

For riches, reserved for the noisy and poor

It wouldn’t be so if they shunned false grandeur

Existence owns all the words but will never speak

We are left to wonder about its mystique

To watch over us, it sends us an uninvited guest

Washing our lungs with air, allowing us rest

The uninvited will come into the open

When the mind is no more outspoken

Instead, silently joining in and watching

Rising awareness, after it’s done falling
