Can we hear its call?

Can we hear its call?

A bell of mindfulness
is sounding in all corners of the earth.
Wake up, wake up
can we hear its call?
A rally
not to arms
but to peace, to oneness
to unity and wakefulness.
A call to decommission guns and knives
and decommission the seeds of violence
that taint our minds and
darken our thoughts.

A bell of mindfulness
is sounding throughout the cosmos.
Wake up, wake up
can we hear its call?
An invitation
to lay down notions
of right and wrong and seeking revenge.
An invitation to sit together and
be together and
nourish our interbeingness.

A bell of mindfulness
is sounding in every part of the earth.
Wake up, wake up
can we hear its call?
We are all sisters and brothers,
we are all children of mother Earth.
Can we see the family home is suffering?
Can we hear the cries of pain?

A bell of mindfulness
is sounding.
Wake up, wake up
can we hear its call?
