New Day

Dont be fooled... we are the architects of the
cell in which we reside,
Open the lock with the key of truth
come away with me...
Laughing as we chase away the ghosts of hatred,
Embracing a new day, where we see we are one.
Holding hands as we march on together
leaving destruction crying at our heels.
Come away with me and smile
As we watch the sun rise to a new day
as we look upon faces of brothers and sisters
so long ago lost but once again found

Looking Through to Truth

Standing in the footprints left behind
Waiting for something that may never come
Cursing the hope that just won't die
Holding still with minds in perpetual motion
Knowing that perception and reality
don't always meet
Which of us knows they see things as they are?
Filtering faster than truth can reach us
We look through painted glass windows
Captured in the colors of the view
Forgetting most times to look all the way through
