Awakening



Awakening now
The future is here
Tomorrow has come
Unexpectedly

For shaking up how
It is after all
For choosing between
What is or is not

To rise or to fall
By love or by fear
To mean what we mean
Or be mistaken

Fear can only take
Only love can make
What is that is what
Is ultimately

In the shadow of
Fear a rising spark
Surprising the dark
In the name of love

We wonder about
It but understand
That this is it and
It will not go out

To love is to be
What is to become
Of us as we do
What makes us come true

How to be shaken
Up to make us see
The hope in our eyes
Our reality

Open to surprise
Now to awaken
