1 - Irrational Truths Crowd Out Simple Realizations

We are God, Maybe not God as in almighty

but God as in we can hold everyone tightly

spreading respect and compassion both daily and

nightly finding wanderers who sadly have all

chosen darker roads but didn't want to be alone.

 

It’s just difficult to process all this

power we possess inside so some of

us can’t help but turn away from open

arms and hearts ablaze with right intentions.

 

We always need to be pulled more than we’ll ever admit.

We always need to pull harder than we ever will.

 

What if that were to change?

What if on Sunday mornings we didn't pray,

instead we said each other’s names?

What of pain is just the love we keep?

Happiness is letting it flow.
