Sherry Monsanto Poem
THEN RISE
When the plot you sowed
you shall receive
the lies you told
so you shall cleave
What you thought you knew
becomes naive
and you’re the one
who’s left deceived
When there’s nothing more
to hold or grieve
so you turn around
to leave
THEN RISE
When what you see
ain’t what it seems
what you believe
deceives
just turn around
Rise above
what is conceived
the fight’s a farce
lie’s wicked weave
to appease false
and petty grieves
fight a foe
that’s make-believe
start a war
with no reprieve
turn around
AND RISE
above mortal eyes
Rise above the battleground
Rise above the lost be found
Crest upon the soul unbound
Soar up to the next sunrise
Recognize
who you can truly be
when the light burns away
life’s dead debris
turn around
AND RISE
When the life you create
has broken you down
and fate has you falling
further down
a twisted game of self-demise
the rules you wrote
you can’t revise
It all becomes a cruel, cheap disguise
haunts the bones when eulogized
suffocates the sound of battle cries
cause behind the smoke
there lies no prize
and all is lost
on the field of lies
so you turn around
to leave
THEN RISE
Rise above the battleground
Rise above the lost be found
Crest upon the soul unbound
Soar up to the next sunrise
Recognize
who you can truly be
when the light burns away
life’s dead debris
turn around
AND RISE

Sherry Monsanto Poem
SEE ME
Could you?
I pray
on my knee
I fiercely plea
could you
SEE
ME?
Really see me?
Know the real me?
Try to be me?
Could you agree
to take the dive
see where I’ve been
wade in my skin
let that sink in?
Not to accuse
or misuse
Not a command
just god’s plan
By his decree
would you take my hand
sub-merge with me
into an unsoiled sea
drowning the fear
that suffocates thee?
Be purified, revived
reclaimed
SET
FREE?
Yes
I will choose
to capsize my view
surface clues
the heart can’t refuse
I will wade in your shoe
drenched in each step
I drew renewed
flooded by river truth
til my saturated heart
could clearly
start to
know you, be you
SEE
YOU!
No debt to weigh
or fine to pay
no hidden lies
or fake disguise
See what a sea
of abundant love
can do?
For one and all
not just a few
Float unfettered hearts
resurfaced anew
kissed by the dew
of time and space
engulfed in the current of
God’s quiet place
WE
stand
face to face
embraced
in a
heartbeat of grace
I SEE YOU
YOU SEE ME
WE
Emerge
Transformed
as
God’s Heart
SET
FREE.
