Sébastien Badel

When an angel
knocks on your door

Improvisation #374

When an angel
knocks on your door

This is not for those on their way to hell

Hell starts when man is so dull and hardened
That he cannot love anything
See no beauty
Feel no magic
Nor thankfulness or happiness
Not even for being alive

He is so full of complaint
That nothing worthy can enter
Heart or mind

If God himself knocked on his door
To tell him a secret for happiness
Or sing him a song of beauty
With a message of love
Or a key for life
He would zap it

Would we ever be so restless
And so much without peace
That we become unable to consider
For more than 30 seconds
To understand something
Of what he was trying to tell us ?

How in hell can a lazy & restless generation
Hope to ever find peace & fortune ?

With quietness of spirit
And stillness inside
We might find perfect peace
For a few minutes

Simply to let
The music happen
As an effortless flow

The restless can’t
