Have You Ever Lived?

Have you ever really lived?
Have you smelled the flowers in winter
Or recognized the raindrops in a leaf

Have you ever felt the pain?
Of aching lungs after a run
In the pouring freezing rain

Have you ever been in love?
Lost in a sea of passion
Or in the sky, high up above

Have you ever risked it all?
Have you gone for what burns in your heart?
Did you leap in faith whether there was a road or a wall?

Have you ever really lived?
Felt yourself from head to toe
Not out of fear, but full of joy, jumped over the highest cliff

In Love and Light
