Joyful Journey

It is easy to hide away
closeted, refuse to play
caught-up in an insulated
mind, buried in pain,
distrusting those
who would hurt you,
seeking solace in a virtual world

escape through electronic
bytes to people far away
key strokes for communication,
posted pictures and tweets

to a world who has forgotten
how to socialize the old fashion way

or to commune with nature, instead

stooped over a keyboard and screen

with information at their fingertips
world views and world news,
keeps them busy with information
but in the scheme of things doesn’t matter

better to go outside and play
learn to celebrate each day
interact with all or life
letting laughter and love fill your heart
take the journey of a lifetime.
