take heed...

Do take no heed of those whose dreams know not to be saucy
shackled be their waking hours
bullied into a confined space of no release from daily challenges.
they know to bark as they wake and bark hoarse as they go to sleep.
a kind word
an interest shown
alien to their daily routine.
they be so lost among the strife to keep up with wallets fat with credit.
forgetting...
that heart that beats within their chest....those tears that want to well and spill over.
yet.
dare not...for it be considered a weakness.
they forget, until they witness
a hug
a moment shared...
where two people know to share in a glance
know to share in a smile
know to be with each other in silence.
technology. a robotic state of mind...challenging us to be faster, smaller, precise, metallic, unsocial
inhuman.
but let go,
let go to a kiss,
let go to a moment tender, touching, weeping.
let go to YELLING at the top of your lungs!
let go to a lover, even for an instant.
and when the world rudely nudges itself back into your space with the reality of life itself
then smile broad, for u have dared and taken heed 

of simply being human.
