Entwine

Choral music heard from afar.
A harmonic response to an inner voice

Through the distance, I see the sunrise.
A primal cord takes life.

Knowing that this is a maze within;
is it more than I can deal with?

The story of life will soon be told.
A structure that will liberate us all; 
that of mother and child entwined 
cast from the empty Ash of time.

A plea for life from those long lost.
Those victims of pyroclastic flow, 
which strike the heart and touch the 
chord values and comforts of life; 
are a new sunset.

Horizons from afar see the nightfall.
Beauty with no disguise brings smiles of sunshine.

Amazing grace life now has.
The twilight soothes.

The end of each day brings rebirth.
Renaissance transformed on Earth with unity in work.
Life interweaves to reconstruct.

We work in the fields.
Bring life from dead soil.

We gaze at the heavens and wonder what life would be like.
Would there be as much strife if we lived on a world in Orion?

A status thus formed that brings liberation to our world.
We stand amongst the saved embracing a salubrious aura!
