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
