Love is not foolish,
It stands in the way of pain and sorrow,
And pushes us to believe,
It is wise, comprehending understanding and truth,
Not leaving that behind in the middle of chaos, of hate.
I believe it is more worldly,
More open.
Love,
what else can we fall back on?
When the world doesn't surrender,
And lay down their anger,
When they don't see what it could be,
'Cause they are in fear, -this love they don't understand.
Some days I am reminded of something different,
By the light in the sky on a brilliant day,
That it must remind us of heaven,
'Cause love is through light,
And that is the basis of heaven.
It is the basis of life.
I believe, if it were gone, we would only be living half of who we are,
We would have forgotten the spirit,
We would no longer cry for or stand up for others,
losing understanding and faith.
When I see someone that has been hurt.
Oh, I wish we would get rid of the abuse,
When relationships crumble and nothings left,
We are not to live like this,
Love is not to have to stay beside them,
It overcomes distance,
We need to take care of ourselves,
Do what's best,
For us.
Sometimes I am reminded by the glimpse in someone's eyes,
That heaven must be near,
Love and light has been born into their spirit,
And once again is showing through.

The Sanctuary
There is a sanctuary,
In the understanding heart,
To see it, it must be understood,
It exists even with a world of pain around us,
A deep loneliness within,
But feeling everything we need to understand,
It is the greatest knowledge we could have,
And it expands until there is light beyond the walls.
Aware,
Of what we must face,
To not forget were in the middle of it,
To not forget,
It will drive us- with the force of everything we know and have felt,
Fighting to change what must be changed,
Bringing others to the sanctuary too.
At the core of a sanctuary I saw an understanding heart,
From it,
Everything growing to its capability,
Knowledge rising towards light.
