You Are The World

Poem by Fred LaMotte

"Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi ( 1445–1510), known as Sandro Botticelli, was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. He belonged to the Florentine School under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, a movement that Giorgio Vasari would characterize less than a hundred years later in his Vita of Botticelli as a "golden age". Botticelli's posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century; since then, his work has been seen to represent the linear grace of Early Renaissance painting." -- Wikipedia

You're not here
to save the world.
You're here to discover
that you Are the world.
You are compassion.
You are perfect healing.
In you the mountains
are lighter than the sky.
In you the Winter sparrow
hears herself sing.
Don't try to understand this.
Just fall in love with
yourself in every
pair of eyes.
