The Secret Heart
Where do you think you’ll find your own secret heart The heart which speak to the secret heart of the world What pushes us away from the center, keeps us apart Which fear, hatred bigots us, around our heart curled Are we somehow kept too busy to even take one look To find that secret […]
#Je Vous Suis
Radio crooned, what if god were one of us? A question an almost recent pop song asked It makes me wonder, what if god is all of us? And we fail to notice, since we all go masked Still, we tell ourselves that we know the truth Everybody else is only playing make-believe But don’t […]

Who will fill the holes, when all our youth is gone Who will inhabit our houses, when we’re all alone Who will feed the soil, when flesh is rent from bone Who will seek forgiveness, when no one can atone
