ease

Life is meant to be easy
Like the dew that settles 
upon the morning grass
And the light, breathless snowflakes 
as they drift down from above

Life is meant to be easy
Like a river heading out to sea, 
There is no undercurrent, 
simply floating on the surface 
Letting it all be

Life is meant to be easy
Troubles, worries, confusion, 
anger and regret
collectively left at the door
Let there be no hardship ever left in store

Life is meant to be easy
For challenges that may seem
an illusion of trouble
Conjuring all the issues
A tightening at the seams

Life is meant to be easy
Even though it’s not
always easy to see
the paths that are best and 
the routes that are not

Life is meant to be easy
For each and every one of us
for in the rhythm and in the dance
it’s all an embracing
of everything, the lot, the whole.

Life is meant to be easy
with sadness and with joy
with trouble or with ease
with adventures and with boredom
all together, all at peace
 
For everything’s a joyous ride
To leave you asking for more
To want, to give, to share, 
To live, to learn, to love
is what it’s meant to be

For nothing is as easy
as living the life you choose
in every moment of every day
Life is meant to be easy
for you, for me, for all.
