DOWN FROM ABOVE

Wide awake at 6 AM

This morning came so early

Nice to see the sun come up

And not be in a hurry

Sirens blasting in the distance

Remind me not to worry

Life happens all around us

I'm neither judge or jury

I simply am an advocate

In my own remediation

Sorting out the delicates

From my hardened expectation

It is the finer things in me

That are worth some exultation

So I will serve them up to see

Which ones cause some revelation

I've lived a life of service

But got caught up in its grip

Watched the life I really wanted

Slip through my fingertips

Tried to hold onto something fluid

To contain and help it grow

But the whole time I was viscous

Had to learn to join the flow

Now that I've lost resistance

There's no vicious left in me

No more need to be insistent

Just need to walk in revelry

My heart has been broken open

Lending credence to validity

Allowing me to have communion

With my own holy Trinity

To reconnect three layers of self

My Ego, Soul and Spirit

I have found the voice of God in me

Now that I have the ears to hear it

Before they all were disparate

Entirely dissimilar

No wonder I was desperate

So caught up in the familiar

Always felt that I was out of time

Had to make the most of every second

But those seconds summed up into hours

And rarely one of them were pleasant

Impossible to make a life you want

You simply cannot engineer love

You have to let your dreams All come to you

Then they fall like rain,

- Down from above

Now I am this light -

This new dawn in me

My eyes burned

To see the sun

The sun burned my eyes

That I may see
