A Shared Gift

An ugly game has been set in motion
There is no grace
Just fear, pain and poison

To put a human in a restraint
Whose thirst to fly 
Pushes all constraint

We need to live and learn to see
Those who know 
Say we're deeply asleep

And that is what's true and that is what hurts
And that is why we need to be coaxed 
Coerced, at times pushed, as if by a coach

The trench is deep of ignorance
The scars from lives gone by
Go deeper than even that

To wake to a morning without a cloud
To embrace the love felt all-around
To envelope the presence right next to you
To soar to the sky
A gift from the divine 
Shared by me and you
