I Gave Reality A Human Face

In the misty and hazy situations
that life brings along
I watch as happiness passes me by
happiness stares me in the face
yet I fail to see it in its true self
I look for fulfillment in all the wrong places
I hope an' think I will be satisfied with worldly things
I think money-lots of it
means happiness like no other
I nourish all my physical needs
yet I still feel empty inside
For a while I wonder why,
then I realise all this is useless,
useless if I don't learn to satisfy my inner self
my soul,my spirit
useless if I don't learn to share it;
to share it unconditionally
to share it abundantly
to share it expecting no grattitude

I didn't know how to live a fulfilling life
A worthwhile life
to realise that my absense for just a minute
wouldn't bring the world to an abrupt stanstill
I didn't know how to live
till the day I gave reality a human face
