The Hill around Me

The hill around me is very large
The universe is getting ready for a ball
The dignitaries are standing in line and the
West wing is moving along to honor the well
Deserved one with a prestigious ceremony on the front lawn 
Here I am feeling elated by the built-in surprise and the multitude that descended on the hill, they are standing at attention
The guests are pouring in and desires are
Running high and making its way up to the flabbergasted sky
The shadows are moving quietly along
And my heart is getting ready to sing a new song
We have waited a hundred decades for this moment to come
for when the universe and all that’s in it will
honor the deity from the bottomless pit and those that
Are not around to witness it knows that your struggles were not in vain and because of you the world is not the same
We remember your struggles and your sleepless nights
we remember the fights and the daily sacrifice
the hunger you bore on the field
and how you persevere without zeal
Whether you are above or have sunken below
You are a part of us wherever you go 
Open the window of your heart
and get ready for the miracle to start
We share the passion of love 
and courage shelter's us from above 
Life burst into the cloud
And stares at the benevolent hill
