Today I Create

Today I create love

I hear the screams

I feel the shadow

But I create love

And a better tomorrow

Today I create

The opposite of pain

Tie you up with ribbons

Until I see you again

Today I create gold

Out of dust

Create sunflower seeds

Out of shame and lust

Today I create hours

Out of nothing out of prayers

Out of hope out of dreams

I create love out of despair

Today I create you

Out of bolder brighter light

I'll see this to the end

Creating art into flight

Today I create love

Endlessly

Doves out of war

Harm into peace

Today I create...
