Jeanne Casper
At the intersection of your ending and my beginning — the torture and allegiance
They don’t see me
They don’t know that I might not have been here
They don’t see her bargaining in all her grief Trying to bring you back to life
I forgive her for telling me And I forgive you for enlisting
I love my freedom I’ve seen what hate can do
We draw our lines We want what’s not our own
So I don’t judge I lay it down and let it go
Let it be Give peace a chance
Feel the omnipresence of life flowing
Higher than the air we breathe Crystal blue in the light Sun coming through everything Warm on your skin just right
Bigger than what we can hold More than the eye can see You don’t have to name a thing It’s already moving free
Love in the air Peace everywhere Love when you rise Peace when you’re there Love in the sound Peace in the ground Love coming round Love coming round
Brighter than the colors bloom Out in the open field Cool as the rain comes down Soft on the stone it hits
Running from high to low Down where the clear streams go Further than thought can reach More than we’ll ever know
Love in the air Peace everywhere Love when you rise Peace when you’re there Love in the sound Peace in the ground Love coming round Love coming round
Out where the green runs wide Under the bending sky Colors that come and go Still there behind your eyes
More than a moment held More than a passing view There’s something under it all Already pulling through
Love in the air Peace everywhere Love when you rise Peace when you’re there Love in the sound Peace in the ground Love coming round Love coming round
