Let The Pendulum Swing

Let the pendulum swing
Let the old guard surrender
It is a new day, a new world
A new language I wish to speak
The language of love

May I have the words I need to speak my truth
To translate my heart and my vision
To my beloved and our children
To all who come to sit at our table
Or walk with us through the market place
Or pray with us by the water

May I have the plain poetry to tell them how I feel
Or why there is pain
If the answers are mine to know

And if they are, I ask the spirit to let me share them
With a light heart, with laughter
Wth no expectation, with humility
But for the grace of thee, go I

May I know my innocence
Every moment of every day
May I be a child forever
Intoxicated by hot sand, cool winds, by love
By my own communication to spirit

May my aliveness always be as loud
When I make love, as when I cry
May I see my own reflection in the mirror
And smile

Today I give you everything that is mine to give
All my innocence
And all my heart
I am yours
Let the dance begin
