St. Peter
(专辑: Being As An Ocean - 2015)
It's 2
am, as we pull into the
humble hotel. German countryside; everyone is shut up tight. Warmth and light welcome, as all file inside. I
entered, belated, to see our troop elated, faces filled up with joy. Blessed communication. The
source stood behind the
counter, a
man, salt & pepper, his face beamed like a
boy's. We are all given dark and light, beautiful contrast, black and white. You can hide in the
darkness or strive for healthy progress. Forgive what makes us human, we could grow an earthly heaven. He told us of our origins, spoke of when ideas gave birth to breath. He spoke about love and respect. I
felt fire rise up in my chest. Loving because He first loved us. Clean or dirty, the
Ocean remains as One! I've never felt such a
warm embrace, well-known stranger, his smile, a
handshake. (And while he swept the
floor.) Oh God, he called on me by name! Even as the
smoke hung in our lungs, like old friends we circled up. Peter, preaching Life, past his Marlboro, On nights like tonight I
come outside, enjoy the
pins of light, littering the
sky. Run my fingers down the
lifeline of the
hanging leaf, We are all given dark and light, beautiful contrast, black and white. You can hide in the
darkness or strive for healthy progress. Forgive what makes us human, we could grow an earthly heaven. We are all given dark and light, beautiful contrast, black and white. You can hide in the
darkness or strive for healthy progress. Forgive what makes us human, we could grow an earthly heaven. Thinking of how that life also resides in me. The
mark of the
Creator, we share the
same energy. Our light and our dark, the
dull side and the
shiny, creates the
being, whole, and distracts not from beauty. For glory is revealed in everything, shared energy. We must own and control the
dark that we're given. Magnify the
light, loving what is just and right, and cultivate for ourselves an earthly heaven.
