Be Known

With whom cannot I waste the day alone,
Among these birds and beasts of whom I rule
A grander home, I sooner left, be known.

But here, not there, my soul desires to live.
As human thoughts of past are stored in vaults,
To hide what one has done, a gift to give.

For not alone, we wander thru this plane.
Joined in strength together with friend and mate,
We form a journey's union and not in vain.

Angels rejoice as spirit forms a bond.
Michael, Uriel, Jibrael, all go forth,
Their watch is kept, times seven and beyond.

We're born into a world, not of our own.
To seek and toil and wonder why we're here.
But fear and doubt are seeds, rebellion-sown.

For spirit knows it knows, there are no no's!
Designed to lead us thru the foulest air,
Then gird us strong with faith that grows and grows.
