Earthflax
In the old house
In the room
Where I heard your voice
Say
That we should leave
A time
Unlike to day
The earthflax
Was the owner
Was the way
Earthflax
In the old house
In the room
Where I heard your voice
Say
That we should leave
A time
Unlike to day
The earthflax
Was the owner
Was the way
Even though
There is hope
In the darkness
We have to fight
For the life
We love
So to keep
What is good
For the generations
Above
In a world of
Nets and ladders
There is a gain
Made
With every day
A hope birthed
Into the world
That we live in
We just have to
Find this hope
Today
Count one
Count everyone
Once
Twice
Over time
And again
To see what the numbers
Of life
Lived
Everyday
Forgiven
Words
Can be erased
With time and heart
That is worn
On the sleeve
Of those seeking
The forgiveness
Seek
Then to forgive as well
When will I be here again
In the same place
With a familiar thought
Or feeling
The work that has to be
Done
To get the same
Repeating
So instead
I take the breathe
Of the day
And breathe in
The whole feeling
Of living in this moment
How can I help
A day gone by
With little to hope on
Little to look for
So today or tomorrow
I start again
With brand new hopes
For a better tomorrow
What goodness can
Be brought
From light to light
So I hope to bring
What I can
In a world that is
Wrought
With darkness
Within and without
For all is good
When the good is done
One act at a time
Pushing ahead
In a world
Half alive
Half dead
Tomorrow is
Another day
Another chance
To be
Free
Another round
This time
It’s off kilter
But done in a way
That makes me happy
Today
