I was here for a time
The worlds rages repeated
On this earth for a time
All our dark themes repeated
In quiet moments of grace
These hard truths receded
I was left with that
Which glows in my mind
The passions I have felt
The ties that bind
The love that turns the third eye
To seeing from blind
The war and stuggle can rage around me
The tolls and losses can mount
I will hold the suffering I see
Equally with joys my mind can count
