Be It

Love found bound to the ground
I pass on all inclination to astound
Calling out the moment sounds
Describe yourself as perseverance
When doubt is running interference
Could this dream be more
Something called for
Unlike before, real and pure
Of this I'm sure
Without my soul to endure
Just one time, there are many
Don't refuse your own approval
Force your own hand until removal
Granted defiance through compliance
Underhanded, undemanding
Such a tone commanding
Always a way to stay standing
Ride, run, walk, all the ways
Each and every day, go or stay
This fight is for the kindest
The gentlest hearts will be
Setting free the love in me
We will always see, undeniably
Loved, hated, unfated to destiny
The future once debated
The one we've yet created

Love in Numbers

For one or many
Why can the many not be seen
By many as one
Where love places itself so deeply
The hearts of man, the light we seek
Hearts that outshine the sun
Unbroken, unspoken bonds as they hold one another
Cherish the moments as though soon lost forever
As before, what could be done
We are so few for so many
Our strength is finite, still trying
Alive among the dying
Alone, prepared for flying
To believe this could change
Aware of the world, viewing it as strange
Wings cut away, removed kindly
For they could be torn
Softly set upon the ground
Among the stones so weathered and worn
Covered in leaves, never to be found
To this earthly realm, bound so tightly
Unable to fight, we exist daily and nightly
Attempting to spread hope with all we are
Will peace be found, could we ever get that far
Soon to see, for all that is and ever could be
Love to be set free, within the sea
An ocean I see before me
