Invitation

There’s an open invitation 

All through life’s duration

To relax, and to rejoice

Forsaking narrow choice

Moments come to deliver

An invitation to life’s river

Soulful silence on its banks

A joy that deserves endless thanks

Instead, we invite trouble

By allowing thoughts to scuffle

Forcing us to take sides

And endless emotional rides

Accepting the invitation

Brings a new temptation

Living in individual bliss

To leave out others, it’s remiss
