A Concert

A Concert

A Poem by EJ Servellon
"

A timeless musical piece that constantly changes.

"

Are we here to see a concert?

To hear music?

In a beautiful place, on this blue planet?

Strange in a way, it all seems.

Strange as humans, the wars, the battles.

The various symphonies.

Played with Instruments of destruction.

 

Battles we have not yet released from our grandparents.

A long heavy chain we continue to thread.

Endlessly pulled through the ages.

When shall this song end, and a new one begin?

 

We still have battles.

Unfinished songs, out of tune instruments.

Wars there have been between countries, between neighbors.

Layers upon layers.

But at the core an epic war, a battle within ourselves.

If we can be honest for just a moment,

 we can see that battle.

 

Human life moves between day and night.

Through birth and death.

Moving through each measure of the musical score.

Exploring, what the hell is this all about?!

How many times we have forgotten that we breathe?!

If we could remember this, every time we are lost.

When we miss a note or a beat.

 

Is it so difficult to remember?!

To breathe through whatever comes.

Whatever goes.

Life is an incredible voyage!

 

Every star has its purpose to be.

Every being has its purpose to be.

Each an instrument, being fine tuned.

One experience after another.

One note after another.

Only being can limit itself to be.

 

 

Children of the stars, we are.

The stars of this very concert.

A grand masterpiece of art.

Every genuine breath will carry us to a grand finale.

To a roaring applause!

To this moment, this space in being.

Breathing in!

It’s complete!

Breathing out!

it is whole!
