you inspire
i see into the future
through your flashes of light
the torch of your flame
eternal fire
you show me the way
a vision that comes
and then slips away
but I remember
you told me I would be ok
you asked me to believe
to trust
to have faith
you showed me the glow
and you asked me to carry it
when things seem low
you ask me
to have hope
look inward
remember the vision
find it in the corners
where it has been banished
and expand it
expand it from within
and share
share love
and understanding
we’re all connected
love is abundant
life is meant to be shared
share a meal
and libations
laugh from deep in your belly
until you cry
tears of joy
that turn to tears of appreciation
when it is raining
dance in it
rain feeds the Earth
to feed our souls
let the rains wash you clean
until you, and me, and them, and us
until we
are the water in the streets
in the creeks
feeding the rivers
out to the ocean
until we are one
come back in from the wet depths
to gather around the fire
share your epic stories of
visions and truths
grow
and learn
from the old and
from the young
we are one
