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
