You Are - Much More

I A day, a blessing, misshapen Careless words, good deeds overtaken You rise, we rise: building on the trough Cresting arrested; environment looks tough We cannot fall further, sink lower We remain connected, no matter the matter Mother and child, ocean & waves, eternally Somewhere deeper, Universe is you and me II You were cresting, dancing with siblings Environments include YOU, both creating A win-win world, Oceans of happy waves Even when we crash, the trough saves It is our connection to the Ocean Bed No matter the weather ... Curses, words said You are more, more than that spent wave You have tasted eternity; you are beyond brave III We are more than our profession We are more than any reputation We are more than strong, or wise We are more than traps that surprise U & I are the universe experiencing Itself New American loses identity of immigrant The play of creation depends on disguise Maybe that God as Spirit borrows our eyes IV (Envoi) You are much more than you know Look for the empowerment in surprise Go with the flow as a wave, ebb and flow Maybe God as Spirit must borrow our eyes NOTE: I am still new to this form and modified the rhyme scheme From ababbcbc ; ababbcbc; ababbcba; bcbc
