I Cry

For all that I have done that I wish I had not

For all that I wish done but as yet have not

For those who have been in my life without knowing my love for them

For those that have passed for whom I would not grieve

For those in my life for whom I was unwilling to forgive

For the time spent convinced that I am alone

For turning my back on those who suffer

For my part in the suffering of humanity

For all those souls that have been denied their song

For those who continue to feel alone

For all those who don’t know that they are loved

For those that act out of fear

For those that are the recipients of the fearful actions of others

For those who go to bed hungry and wake still not fed

For those living day to day on the streets

For those that have lost loved ones to war

For those who suffer racial intolerance and genocide

For those that have known ethnic cleansing & loss of culture

For lives that were cut short before the fullness of their light was known

For the desecration of Mother Earth

For cruelty & lack of reverence for the animal kingdom

For all those who have yet to realize we are all one – that we all may heal

As I witness someone courageously step beyond their comfort

As I realize I am part of a larger community

As I feel the flow and presence of love and am one with its source

Witnessing the joy of life and the day-to-day miracles.
