Roll away your stone I'll roll away mine

My favourite line from a sweet song I liked
It points - I guess - to the unbreaking faith
two people have
and never lose - unless they lose themself

Why do we fear to hold and touch this faith
and keep it up?
Why do we race through life, and miss so many things
and lose our breath?

Sitting and writing, here, I'm slightly frightened -
I risk a lot these days, or maybe not enough

Rough tides have shaken me a lot

Fierce creatures have approached
and have been tough on me;

But yet -
Yet*
I continue to uncleverly walk on
with open arms

whatever comes and harms my flesh

This is a statement for something
that everyone should dare to seek
a deep, deep urge for truth
or faith, or any of these words

It hurts to see people I like dispair
because they fear the step

Please look at you
and feel that you may care
and that it's just your right to wish
for it -

Go wash your face
and comb your hair, my love:
It's time.
