CHANNILLO
One June
Series Info | Table of Contents
One scorching June,
During the longest afternoon,
By a beach,
Out of this world’s reach,
Basking in the golden sun,
Looking toward the horizon,
I had a strange thought,
A lesson untaught:
‘Life isn’t some useless material thing,
We’re truly alive when we begin
To feel others’ pain
Without seeking personal gain;
Ready to lend a hand to every weary soul
Trying to remain whole-
For it’s about love and warmth,
Together weathering any storm.’
