Blood On the Glass

step into the soul
of the needy and the vain,
and walk within the fire
watch the weak stand tall again


from the pit of redemption
crawling over glass,
mistakes will revisit
but with faith it all shall pass


with a prayer and a smile
before a future deeds,
that karma can turn round
and soul will be released


far into mother earth
I’ve secreted my pain,
now I’m blowing on the wind
hear me whispering your name


brushing past a memory
that shatter crystal hearts,
cradled in a culture
that’s growing like its art


nourishing the earth
as the circle turns around,
even as I lay here
at peace in sacred ground


as I morph back to mother
regather me once again,
make our lines connect
in the ink it will begin


Esperanza is my name
I flow within the green,
open up your minds
bring life to every dream
