Divine Pain

Learning through crisis points 
The desire to smoke a joint 
Allow it all to flow away 
Instead of shouting “mayday, mayday”

But here in this space
We must wait 
Observe the urge 
Leaning closer and closer to the verge 

Feel into the pain 
And the shame 
The desire to run 
To buy a gun 

See, we are at the edge of a cliff 
Observe the waves rip
It’s a riptide 
So powerful, everything and everyone it overrides 

A planetary change 
So deep is the power of this rage 
Earth wide
We can choose to sink or glide 

Rapture is on its way 
Heaven-sent and embedded in the clay 
For its time 
To open to a new relationship with the divine
