A poem about life

Try for a moment to be perfectly still
Try for a moment please if you will
Close your eyes
Now, picture yourself in a disguise
Maybe a Pilot
Maybe a Prince
Maybe a Horse
Jumping over a fence
You can be anyone
You’re as free as a bird
Someone you’ve heard of
Just let yourself go and observe
Now that you’re here
What do you see
Are you as happy
Before you traveled with me
Do you imagine your richer
With money to burn
Or maybe you’re still learning
How to earn
This journey will be just a moment away
Try it and see what will change from yesterday
Give it a chance to light up your life
Recall those first days as a husband and wife
So many visions will pop onto your screen
Just promise yourself you will never be mean
See what the world has within your locked mind
See for the first time and you will see you were blind
There are no guarantees to the secret to life
No promise you’ll relieve all your worries and strife
The best you’ll derive is you’ve ventured inside
Where your secret to life constantly hides.
— WOLRAD
