Former to Future

- poem by shawna ray 6/13

From the former to the future
Changing tide is washing up
From the inner to the outer
Purify what was corrupt
From the core into the center
Luring tempting is a lust
From deliverance to disaster
Torrent winds whip up the dust

Sweet surrender in the Spirit
That is kissed upon love's lips
Soft but loud so all can hear it
Calling purpose to exist
Warding off the shameful arrows
Not to fear the bully's fist
With an eye upon the sparrow
Word fulfilling promises

Age of time is now upon us
Echoing the grave's release
We must lift and sound the trumpets
Welcoming and offering
One to stay and walk among us
Joyful celebration feast
In the present, full awareness
Former battle, future peace

Epiphany

Clear the cobwebs in the corners
Wipe the counters of the mind
One go round it doesn't come twice
How we live will redefine

Am I dividing time or adding life?
Moving the moments or feeling them?

Epiphany says to me...Why wait?
Epiphany why aren't we still laughing?
Epiphany says to me there is something more
Do not waste this love on worry
Off the pause and now press play
Do not look at what you can't do
Just get out and live this day

I can hear it loud and clear
All the unknowns will get here
Peace is turning off the noise
Even when the music blares

Am I just cluttering or living clean?
Fearing belief or feasting on faith?

Epiphany says to me...Why wait?
Epiphany why aren't we still laughing?
Epiphany says to me there is something more
Do not waste this love on worry
Off the pause and now press play
Do not look at what you can't do
Just get out and live this day

Do what you can then rest and relax
Cold drink in hand I am drifting like sand

Clear the cobwebs in the corners
Wipe the counters of the mind
One go round it doesn't come twice
How we live will redefine

Am I dividing time or adding life?
Moving the moments or feeling them?

Epiphany says to me...Why wait?
Epiphany why aren't we still laughing?
Epiphany says to me there is something more
Do not waste this love on worry
Off the pause and now press play
Do not look at what you can't do
Just get out and live this day
