Please, take these eyes

And make them see

Beyond the veil

Of human limitation.

Take these hands

And make them push

Against the grain

Of a time we were

Entrusted to manage well.

Take this heart

And make it love

The way it was designed to,

Before egos wrote stories

Of unworthiness and comparison

As main characters at war.

Please, take this spirit

And make it move uninhibited,

Above the sound of division

Echoing in valleys we were made

To commune in.

Please, take this voice

And make it sing

Sweet notes of peace

For every weary ear to hear

When rest in sacred freedom

Trumps the addiction of living in fear.
