Rise Above

Rise above
Rise above
No need to search 
Any longer
You think you're getting weaker
But you're really getting stronger
When the stairs 
Began to move
They journeyed upward
Up, up, up
Into the heavens
The divine ascent
The stairway
No prevention 
To take that ride
Except what's inside

Search below
Search below
The surface
Where the last pillow lies
The comfort
The ease
So much easier down there
Down, down, down
The path of no return
Unless the detour is taken
Only in exception 
To the rule 
Against the grain
Against the stain of sin
Reject what is rejecting Love 

Shaken up
Shaken up
The world! the soul! whole!
Hole in the heart
The suffering stems
From the cruelty
That grew out of greed
Out of rejection of Love

There is no lack of Love
Just rejection of it
For love abounds
It abounds!
All around!
The rejection is felt all the more
The hatred is felt to the core
Of this earth
Hatred only exists 
In the rejection of Love
Love exists on its own
Love exists on its own

Love does not have to reject
Love is Love
Love is pure
Love is Holy

Love, Love, Love

Together Pieces

The words,
Spoken
Action to take
Whoa nelly
Bake me a cake
History past
And present
Aware of the weight
Do they feel it?
The weight of the world
On shoulders
Unsure
The words
Don't add up
Match up 
To the one above
I guess anyone 
Would be inadequate
So I choose Prayer
I choose Love
The tears
Are fine
As long as they are not
Accompanied by fears
That sail us out 
On the mushroom cloud
Don't give in to fear
I'm sad for the suffering 
I'm not there
And it's a reminder
That peace does not exist
Everywhere
So let's keep peace
At the very least in our hearts
In our minds
In our souls 
In our spirits
Let's keep peace
It's hard to peace
Together pieces 
And to make sense of it all
But Peace, Hope and Love
Can exist 
Even when 
There is uncertainty
