we spin round and round in our dreams

until we come to some awakening 

a kind of real understanding

that we all have this inner need

no matter how we dress it

this force of love is alive in everything

and the playing field is leveled

and everyone can see

it doesn’t matter who wins or loses

it’s the ability to find hope beyond hope

and to reveal what and how we truly feel

and each breath draws us closer

to the fire with our soul

each prayer holds the Ernestness 

of our goodness that we show

and Spirit is always present

in every moment that appears 

allowing us to learn and grow

with the love of God at work in us here
