i see the worlds warring
justice and oppression going toe to toe
i want to speak
but all i can do is find my place
and be there

i find my center
it is warm and rich
welcoming and hospitable
my silence speaks for itself
my will to fight is gone

i sit in my corner
loved and loving
those who cannot give or receive
make themselves known
and i release them

i am the lover and i am the beloved
what a blessed assurance
