You came into this life
with a gift to be
to live and to learn
and set your mind free
The road stays paved
while the heart burns bright
out of the shadows
flower fresh insights
Every day hums with hope
if the spirit stays brave;
Open to fresh wonder
gladness gleams to the grave
Majestic glider
A blaze of grace uncaged
Soulful teacher
Let’s dance
and not leave
anything
to chance.
Let’s partake
and savour
the beauty
we create.
Let’s praise
the sacred
and the secular
gaze.
Let’s eye
one another
and never say
goodbye.
Let’s spread
a kind of magic
when we lay
our weary heads.
Let’s write
with our tongues
and welcome
lovers’ light.
Let’s feel
as we blend
on the path
that stars reveal.
Let’s vow
to wonder
by living
in the now.
Let’s give
and take,
the chord proclaims:
LIVE.
We have to live
In this darkened world.
We have to live
In this lightened world.
Despite the horror and the lies
The torture and the murder
We have to live
In this darkened world.
Despite the hatred and the bile
The evil and the rage
We have to live
In this lightened world.
Despite the angst and the vengeance
The fury and the bloodlust
We have to live
In this darkened world.
Despite the hubris and the bluster
The othering and the smothering
We have to live
In this lightened world.
Despite the bigotry and the vitriol
The crowing and the ignorance
We have to live
In this darkened world.
Despite the gore and the slaughter
The rottenness and the stench
We have to live
In this lightened world.
Despite the vileness and the vanity
The twisting and the spinning
We have to live
In this darkened world.
We have to love
We have to listen
We have to give
We have to live
We have to dream
Unknot our troubles
Spill hot tears
Dispel cold fears.
We have to see
We have to hear
We have to touch
We have to taste
We have to feel
Discover the flow
Unroll our hands
Make love below.
We have to live
Nourish the beauty
Cradle the surprise
Travel through sex
We have to reach
And be together
And see the light
In this wounded world.
We have to live
We have to live
We have to live
In this lightened world.
Alexis
Love Life
