Electricity Coming In(A Voice In the Wilderness)

It seems 
    that 
         electrons are flowing through us
Preserving what is needed by
     by all
  Deep chill and the 
facts and feelings are frozen-stiff
   Let our darker angel 
rule
    You don't need to hurry
us
  We're on your side
 Like a voice in the 
          wilderness
   You'll hear our call
Just remember that the visions   
        you know 
 Are a safer bet than visions
which have been passed down 
Let's move down the path
   Bearing joy and sorrow 
In equal measure
       Ever-watchful 
 for the changes that bring us 
peace - a long desired peace

Carolyn Devonshire April 24, 2009 at 2:44 PM Wise advice to place higher value on "the visions you know." Without sampling both joy and sorrow, we would probably not appreciate happiness when we find it. There is a "long-desired peace" in this piece of writing, Matthew!
