Gentle rebel angel of trailing tears
Join me
Join me in praising
Truth
Beauty
Joy
Delight
Compassion
Empathy
No need for intercession
To some imagined celestial throne
The universe exists within as much as without
Prayers need no translation
Let’s sing freshened hymns of the down and out
Of caged prisoners who know liberty through its absence
Of the desperate
Let our dancing words lift them up
Glory is all around
But not always apparent
So let’s shout cosmic love into
Crowded voids
Shine the bright light of perception
Into infinity
Bring the formless into view
Tear down walls of doctrine set up to divide
Lose the shackles of moribund rules
Let freedom reign, consorting with love
Join me,
Join me my friend
