You May Know My Name Before I Say It

All is a dream
All is the glorious pursuit of grace through compassion
All is love without virtue
All is the chasing and catching of mind without matter
All is symbols

Cymbals clanging for our youth
Six years old in the yard
When shouts and jerks were prayers of Joy

All is in my name
All is a sanctuary
All bides time

All is forgiveness
And it ends there
So it may begin again in the early glow of love

And I say these things
Not out of pride or Order
But out of combustible joy
I say these things to share love
I love everyone
And so do you.

(For you deserve to be loved.)
(You are the dessert inside rainbows.)
(You can't stop if you tried.)

You're trying right now.
