Heartmaker Icebreaker

Sometimes we don't speak to each other because we really don't know what to say
We think we have to say something important or clever
Stunning or worth hearing

Yet a simple, What's Up, would do
And then the person can tell you
And then you can tell them

We don't have to be so into what we would say
It is the interest in others that is most loving to speak about
It is the wanting to share that we are really looking for

Sometimes we are so inside our own heads
We forget others even have a head
Sometimes we are so worried of hurting our hearts
That we can't remember what it was like to just relax and speak

Everyone is to themselves what we are to us
Everyone really does want to feel another
Yet we assume they don't

We assume a lot of things when it comes to feelings and emotions
And it is usually the way that we look at things that we assume
yet we all didn't come here with the same blueprint

We all came here to teach each other
Use the knowledge's of each other
Share it
And give us reasons and purpose to interact

We have found so many ways to do everything ourselves
In fear to need another
That we don't really know how to break the ice
Once we realize we don't want to be alone

A simple, Hey, Hi, Hello, or smile
It is the interest and the attention you give
No words really needed

The only thing needed is not waiting for someone else to do what we could do
Because you have just read this and now you know
It doesn't take a class, a book or a mentor to tell you

Simple language is for use
It does get rusty when it is not exercised
And it knows just what to do once you start again

The wheels of a bicycle can only go forward
Hopping on again just takes getting on
So I say to you, Hey, how are you?
Have a great day

Tomorrow I may say more, once you tell me how you are today
And the next day, I can ask you how it all went
And the next I can say, want to get a bite to eat
And the next I will forget I never talked to you before

And the next day, I will have grown my circle of love
Of believing there is more good in the world than I thought the day before
All with a simple, Hey?

As you smile with greater ease
And your foundation of love strengthened
Pass along these moments as you accustom to who you are
Who you are when you are giving
When you feel life
And when you are able to live in the sharing of yourself
