The Becoming

Who doesn’t dream of escape?
A return to an innocent state 
A journey on the beams of grace —
The Lord is with thee

Who doesn’t yearn for what’s pure?
A chance to un-open that door
They preach to us, Less is more
And enslaved is free

See the infant angels descending 
Hear the primal drums drumming 
Like Henderson and his lions —
On the verge of becoming 

Who doesn’t pine for the good days?
To be illumined by the light’s rays
And retreat from the swirls of malaise 
Toward a joyous shore 

Who doesn’t hold onto something,
Amid the wringing and running?
Maybe the name of becoming 
Is one we’ve uttered before  

See the holy harps descending 
Hear the primal drums drumming 
Like Siddharrtha and his lotus —
On the verge of becoming
