the Sun also rises

the Sun also rises

the distant coming

of the not yet amber light of the morn

gives heed to the world

that it is time to stir

time to enjoin to the awakened presence

of conscious goodness

we all feel the connect

so deny

some belie

and many souls are crying

for the sleep of the night

maintained their anguish

yet here we are

brothers and sisters

knowing our capacity to love

and holding on

to our prison doors

yes we imprison our greater selves

in a somewhat deliberate attempt

to protect some invisible notion

that being separate from one another

is a good thing

but here comes the Sun

shining for us all

beckoning us to live

to rise as well

as the night of ll things

is once again quelled

we feel the symbiosis

yet there is a certain world effected psychosis

that spoke lies

that became realities

and in place of our strengths

we created frailties

our magic is in our collective goodness

and should this veil be removed

we will see for sure

that it is we who have moved

from our wonderful gardens

and the doors to our hearts

must be parted from the hinges

from the locks

and we must come out

come out of that box

that contains us

that pains us

for it is love of each other

that will sustain us

and we must trust

once again

that night does not endure

of this i am certain

i am sure

that the Sun also rises
