Love & Spirit
At dusk, the northern lights shimmer across the evening sky;
Waves of sun particles shower the earth to form this triumphant art,
And all, who listen through the silence, hear the seeds of our potential
Transform thought into matter, as only pure wisdom can impart,
And oppose the pridefulness that limits our capacity to will change.
Now, it is our responsibility to verify the truth of our position.
What a magnificent choice we have at this moment in time!
Is it to be the journey of descent into intolerance and suspicion
Or the wonder of our mysterious and magical ability to bend
And make room for each individual to enhance the whole of mankind?
For the celebration of our diversity is the cornerstone of our civility,
And this vision, revealed as our highest intent, leaves no one behind.
The aurora borealis illuminates the horizon in many colors and tones;
As our connection to the Light, this is the voice of our greatest merit,
This preeminence that asks only that we learn to accept one another
And open our hearts to reflect the eternal flame of Love & Spirit.
