I must stand
Born under some mandate
To remain flexed at the ready
But for this
As I am organic
Cracking apart, waning with each moment
I cannot stay
Staid
For this story
And to tell it
With due care and congeniality
I must sit
I must stand
Born under some mandate
To remain flexed at the ready
But for this
As I am organic
Cracking apart, waning with each moment
I cannot stay
Staid
For this story
And to tell it
With due care and congeniality
I must sit
Flowers I promise
Because you hold them so dear
Flowers I promise
In the grand Plan
Of this life
Of these times
A bit of broken
A bruise or two
It seems
Is in order
Given our capacity
To heal
To lift
Each other
From under
I trust that by now
Your hands have healed completely
And her gloves are off
Your door I’ll keep closed
And your peace will be my peace
Sister please hold him
Invite me to listen
To all you believe
I’ll sit proper
Hoping to hear, but knowing I won’t
How what’s in your heart spilled out to the streets
We’ll toast to your voice and I’ll take my leave
Talk with me though
On all that you know
How you held the grey captive
Extending your hand -healed it
I’ll ask you to speak slow, I’ll stay at your feet
My heart your tent of gold
These melting hearts
The few of us have
That cannot escape the moment
Without uttering yes
The self-proclaimed wise
Tsk, tsk us and say
I’ve a number for you
They’ll fix it all up
The think’d wiser-still
Warn, no one can save you
And you’re weak
If you hope for who’d try
Let us tell what we’ve found
No call, no warn’ will we heed
For the hand and the kiss
Of a Friend, it helps heal
I started running
I brought with me abundance
I stopped at your side
Wishing with these lines
To ease what hurts, soothe the ache
Cursing wingless arms
Humble Healer
Life-giving Leader
Powerful Protector
Fear-less Friend
Simple Servant
Dear Defender
Kind Kindred
