Performing my poem, “Rise For Love”, for friends in Downtown Vancouver, B.C. on June 24, 2011.
“Rise For Love”
Early Riser. Why Do I Rise? I Rise For LOVE. The Dynamic Force And Power Thereof. The Beauty. The Grace. The INDOMITABLE Spirit Of The Human Race.
The Perennial Underdog. The Comeback Kid. The Rising Phoenix. Like Goliath's David. Where Evil Fears To Tread. Your Stabbing Words Lay DEAD. Fears Manifest. Put Them To Rest. Love Flowers. Put It To Test.
Choices. Choices. Choices.
Is Happiness On Your List?
Do Not Resist.
Resistance Is Futile.
The Ancients Knew......And They Left Us Clues. Please Do Not Abuse The Sacred Light. It Illuminates The Soul And Chases Away The STRIFE. This Is LIFE! This Is NOW! You Ask How? Just ASK And You Shall Receive. Transcend The Mind And BELIEVE. Imagine Your Dreams • Conceive!
Nature's Laws Contain No Flaws.
Make A WIN From Every Loss.
Far Fetched You Say?
Then You MUST Stay Battered & Bruised. Drowning In The Masochist's Blues.
When You Feel You've Had Enough.
When You Feel You've Lost Your Way.
And When Push Has Turned To Shove.
Let Your Spirit Guide The Way.
Take Refuge In My LOVE.
Take Refuge In Our LOVE.
Take refuge In The LOVE.
Disenchanted By The Array
Of Suffering Silence And Decay
Our World Is In Our Perspective
Don't Hesitate • Take The Directive!
The Choice Is Always Yours
From Bloodied Fists To Slamming Doors Or Open Hands Of PEACE
These Demons I Release!
I Cast Ye Anger OUT!
With An Impassioned SHOUT!
Yes, I'm A One Man Guy
He Has So Many Names
Every Name Reflects The TRUTH
He Is Poet, Seer And Sooth
And When My Blood Runs Dry
I Will SHOUT From Mountain High......
"I RISE For L O V E !!!!!!"
