Listen to poem:

The One Love

Song by Benny Berry





When this true love is within, we can have a love for all,
But many things are out to pull it away and destroy
But one shall remember this is the love that gives life

The one Love
That keeps me alive
It flew down as a dove
A new creation to thrive
I seeked all over this earth
For love that would fill this heart
And found I was in need of rebirth
A fire set ablaze from a spark
This new wind causing change
Blowing out the old way
Oh the beauty of this new range
Guiding me not to rock and sway
In this poem I wrote for fun
But this is where I found true love
Receiving strength like a plant from the sun
From the source coming from above
Giving new mind and desire
Oh how I must run and tell all
Of the spirit within of fire
I want all to fly and not fall 
Leaves me in awe of how I did reject
This love within giving a new breath
With my own path to surely wreck
Walking around unknown in death
Finally being able to find rest 
Unto my soul this new found peace
One might say this is the best
No longer in chains but a new release

No longer in chains, but soaring into a new, clear sky buoyed by a strong wind, light in body, but blest in spirit. Lovely experience powerfully shared. Enjoyed the story of your transformation, dear Stephan!
