What will it take : Eternity’s sunrise

What will it take to reach out a hand

To help our fellow man

To see what is buried deep

To honor and care

For the soul in each other

Self and nature

Without question in this day and age

Knowledge and information

Are everywhere

But where then is wisdom to be found

Possibly only on the funereal ground

Of past illusions dying

So if there is to be burning

Let us burn

Knowing some seeds are only germinated by fire

If there is to be drowning

Let us drown

Because deep waters are

Birthing places of fertile understanding

And if there is to be weeping let it come

But also make sure that when the time is right

We surrender grief

To embrace new life

For each and every soul

Every single experience

Mundane and profound

Is only given to us for a time

And so let us heed well

The words of Blake

He who binds to himself a joy

Doth the winged thing destroy

But he who kisses the joy as it flies

Lives in eternity’s sunrise
