Let the pendulum swing.

Let the old guard surrender

It is a new day, a new world,

A new language I wish to speak

The language of love

May I have the words I need to speak my truth,

To translate my heart and my vision

To my beloved and his children

To all who come to sit at our table

Or walk with us through the market place

Or pray with us by the water



May I have the plain poetry to tell them how I feel

Or why there is pain,

If the answers are mine to know.

And if they are, I ask the Spirit to let me share them

With a light heart, with laughter,

Wth no expectation, with humility

But for the grace of Thee, go I.

May I know my innocence

Every moment of every day

May I be a child forever

Intoxicated by hot sand, cool winds, by love

By my own communication to the Spirit.

May my aliveness always be as loud

When I make love, as when I cry

May I see my own reflection in the mirror

And smile



My love,

You are my teacher

And I surrender to your heart

The purest heart I've ever seen

Today I give you everything that is mine to give

My truth

All my innocence

and all my heart

I am yours

Let the dance begin.
