Ownership

Life could be

Joyful celebration

Of the living mystery

Could be loaded up

With gratitude

For the simple things

We oh too often

Take for granted

Sleepwalking is the place

Where I cannot see the Sun

The darkness of my own hurting soul

Eclipsing everything

But so it is when

The fruit of life that is love

Withered on the vine

So it was I had to suffer through

All of this

To cleanse my vision

With all of these tears

What of all of these

Meaningless divisions

I created

When I lost the way to love?

Now God I pray

Let my heart be open

In joyous celebration

Let me extend my heart in love to you

But let me also not take on those

Burdens

That would cover my soul in darkness

For your life is your life

Is your responsibility

Please take ownership

Of your own life
