When you make another an island
or something other than,
you yourself become
the one who is
prisoner
alone
chained

To an ocean of regret that will
swallow you whole and claim
your sacred self, soul
of God's soul,
sacrifice
to vast
death

Life
calls us
to reclaim
full power of
choice to choose who and
what it is we will be
in the current of this now where we

Stand
as one
all exposed
and equally
carrying some grief
unspeakable terror
that will consume those who fail to turn

To Light
