At Rest

Fair and fertile fallow
and all that be
furled and hurled then unfurled
this moment

Sought and caught
though never caught
As fading hearts reply
To seed and heed the seed
and think
To let the thought
embrace the seeding

Touch the tongue that trembles
the hurt to hide
and see the seen and unseen
and certain

Found and bound
though never bound
Take heart my heart take flight
Take wing and bring the wing
to touch
the lives and sacred lives
surrounding

Frail and free
though never free
The fraught the fought
The taught rebel

And I will dare
to plant my share
of heart to see
the haughty
humbled

End the Lie
End the Lie
End the Lie
End the Lie

Know that
See that
Find and
Flee that shore

Borders break before us
and fade to rest
wrought and taught now untaught
forever

Born unborn
yet ever born
My ancient heart take flight
Take wing and bring the wing
to touch
the wing and touch of wings
surrounding
