How do I describe this truth that has moved
my heart into my throat the exhilaration of a life
finally meaning something beyond its own limitations
moving my fingers with passion to a place of utter
joy
opening up my eyes to expose my pupil in which all light
passes through and is seen all i can ever say is that
I am love and these words are of love and my sharing
is of love my heart throbbing against my voice
box my voice box understanding that every word a prayer
every poem a sign of the things to come
a lesson to be learned a feeling to be heard
all of my moments and breath are but for your understanding
of the struggle you are burdened with
I am speaking to myself for myself because in myself
lay a world of light and shadows
lay a home coming draped with the richest colors
my eyes have ever seen
I am here because I was called these words exist
because I am in service serving up peace and love
faith and healing how my imperfections are perfect
and that my journey is our journey how we share the
same anger and speak with the same conviction
standing on the shoulders of giants facing the east
we be one family call me human look and not see color
listen and not hear lies speak and express truth triumphant
trebling out of the soul as the sunrise is expected
so should your greatness be beautiful and ecstatic
tremendous and heavy for the love you give is a work
of the soul
of the heart and the mind the memory
of a time when there was no fear they ask me to tell
them why I am here and all i can say is that I am here
because I was called
not to entertain but to put on display how beautiful the
spirit is how wondrous is this thing we call human
call crazy call love
all i am is the wind over a butterflies wing
all i see is love in you and in me and in the things we aspire
to be say we are say we are not say with the feeling
at the very core of our being that we need
that we be fighting with this world of shadows and light
fighting with ourselves fighting with our very lives
with the people we see
fighting because we believed that this is the only thing
we have to hold on to
but fighting cannot bring peace the government
will not recognize your squabbles
your money will come and go but you love will always
be the strength of who we are universal
I am for the people even when the people are for themselves
I see with my heart stuck in my throat and all
i can say is that I am here right now in this very place
only because I was called
