Let the Pendulum Swing

Let the pendulum swing

Let the old guard surrender

It is a new day, a new world

A new language I wish to speak

The language of loveMay I have the words I need to speak my truth

To translate my heart and my vision

To my beloved and our children

To all who come to sit at our table

Or walk with us through the market place

Or pray with us by the waterMay I have the plain poetry to tell them how I feel

Or why there is pain

If the answers are mine to knowAnd if they are, I ask the spirit to let me share them

With a light heart, with laughter

Wth no expectation, with humility

But for the grace of thee, go IMay I know my innocence

Every moment of every day

May I be a child forever

Intoxicated by hot sand, cool winds, by love

By my own communication to spiritMay my aliveness always be as loud

When I make love, as when I cry

May I see my own reflection in the mirror

And smileToday I give you everything that is mine to give

All my innocence

And all my heart

I am yours

Let the dance begin
