Set free by the rising sun
Cold cracked earth warmed
Horizon specked by slight illumination
To raise my eyes to see the rising
To cast sight away from the decrepit, the dull, the sodden
To see the light upon the ground
Where once rang sounds of wartime gunshots
Now reverberating in sounds of mindfulness bells
Quiet and still
Powerful as stormy ocean swells
All eyes fall down in silent prayer
The ground remembers and subtly reminds us the war was fought there
Silently she speaks through her energy
We hear, we listen
Upon the skies her sun will rise
It glistens, unchanging
Day after day
To this we pay
We offer gratitude for light and acknowledgement of dark
Those who live true, speak out, shut down
The soldiers fighting for freedom and honor
Shut down, knocked down, held silent by hatred
The open, they spread their wings
Clipped by the closed and narrow
The message, not to hide from the assailant but to only soar still
To glide higher
To resemble to hawk, the sparrow, the light
Take solace in your flight, your song, your illumination
and rejoice in your voice
It is you who needs to speak, to love, to let the light out from above
It is you who keeps the rising, catches the falling embers of hatred and douses them with holy water
Polishing the coal into diamonds that shine
Perpetual motion through time
The holy dying
The holy hit by stones of the loney
Lift them up, lift up the hurt and tortured ones who lie among the weeds where they grow
In the cold barren lands
Wash your hands
Clean your heart
You- merely yet greatly a part of the whole
Keep it beating with its meaning
Love, love, love, love love
Stay true to the rising sun
Elevate with the light, take flight, take flight
