I’ll take a stand
And hold still
No breath will breathe
No heart beat
Only sounds are my feet
Standing still, holding fast
Protecting all
That must now last.
Then the gull cries
Mustering forces
That heed that shrieking call
Not forlorn, not alone
I stand, holding still
Upright, strong and tall
We’re together
And together we will conquer all.

We are joyous
Moving along, forward
Into a distant future.
Hesitate, reach down
Look around, see
All the wonders
Growing
Living by your side.
Know
You’re not alone
Nor ever going to be.
For intertwined
In your soul, mine
And all that
Has ever been.

Let me settle down
My anger now is very, very profound.
You took a life, meant nothing to you
Just something in your way
With a swipe, you took a life away
Didn’t miss a stride nor did your heart skip a beat
You went on like nothing bad marked your soul
Or was there blood on your saintly hands
You smiled, laughed, no trace upon your angelic face
Of the death someone has to face
A death you caused, you alone.
It may have been just a little creature
Living life in the space you called your own
You crushed the breath from that creature’s chest
You ground your shoe in the sand
Leaving no trace of a life
That may have been so grand.
Life is precious
Intertwined with all we see
Combined to grow, prosper alongside one another
Whether we walk, run, leap or crawl
You’re not alone nor can you make it alone
Don’t kill those whose heart sings a different beat
Instead remember
We need one another in this life we been shown.

The gate is open
I follow thru
Not alone but with
All that come
To be with you.
The choice is mine
And I follow
Follow the others thru
Following you.
Our salvation we will find
Passing thru
The open gate following
Following you.

We are joyous
Moving along, forward
Into a distant future.
Hesitate, reach down
Look around, see
All the wonders
Growing
Living by your side.
Know
You’re not alone
Nor ever going to be.
For intertwined
In your soul, mine
And all that
Has ever been.

The strength, the stress is powerful
I will ride its energy to my destination
Knowing I am not alone nor judged but protected
And loved.
