Where I'm From

I am from the ether
From the ether moving round the sun
I am from the circle
The circle of life
The circle gets bigger as time goes on

I am from compassion, from their embrace
Just a creature in the whole of nature
From an exquisite sensitivity to a living universe.

There are no gates where I am from
I come here to gather of my own free will
The sun comes up everyday where I’m from
Everyday is new

I am from Circles and Cycles
I am from Suns and Lifegivers
With grace and diplomacy
I carry the weight from where I’m from
From life’s mystery, Vast and Deep
I have come from and to the world’s great hunger

Where I’m from the shepard and the wolf
dance
Cause where I’m from songs always play
Where I’m from souls don’t seep from shallow wounds
And there is virtue in violet and deep crimson red
There is motion and there is passive where I'm from

Where I’m from don’t waste to worry time
Where I’m from eyes are to look on the whole of the world

and outside is the view from within
Where I’m from the only One who counts

Hears no just complaints


Where I’m from we believe and still grow
 and trust in this graceful human mess

Have you heard?
You can never go home again


But you can go back and forth

and twice again


Volleys in the dark

Midnight education on abject light



Where I’m from we don’t throw away our choices
but steel our will for the winds


No more lost
 than when I began



I Believe anyone can above the odds rise

History burns with what before us lies
If you are lost now

You are not a stranger


Many before 
you now know a way


And will greet you at the end

I know because
where I’m from
I learned always,...there’s always another way.
