Signs 04/13/2021

Signs, signs
Everywhere signs
Red is Stop
Green is Go
Yellow proceed with caution
How do we decide
What’s right?

Physical signs
Tell us where to go
And what not to do
But even looking at them
We still seem confused.

So how do we hear and see
Those softer signs
From the Universe?

Found by opening
The heart and mind
To stillness and silence
Allowed me to finally hear
My inner voice
And the messages
It’s been sending me
Since birth.

Subtle signs
Around us everywhere
But only if you believe
You’ll hear
And see them.

An ugly caterpillar
Transforms naturally
Into a delicate butterfly
Representing rebirth
Even in dismal times.

Buzzing dragonflies
Flying quickly around
Show us how to be flexible
And embrace life’s changes
While we learn
Deeper meanings of life.

Subtilties
Yes indeed
With profound messages embedded
When you finally understand
What life is all about.
