Space

You granted me space and time,
As if those were yours to give
And I was the one who needed them.
Your worlds revolve around you
And you like those who follow
The predictable paths, stuck
In the same orbit that won't
Cross paths to interfere with
Yours, the way we asteroids
And comets do.  I have been
The moon that predictably
Circled, faithfully in tune
With your patterns, even when
The repetition started
To grate in its tedium.
Now my instability
Impedes your progress to stay
On course, unchallenged and so
Unaltered.  This galaxy
Is not vast enough for the
Both of us, else I pull you
Into the black hole of my
Despair and consume you whole.
Yet in truth, although your path
Is set, you delight not in
Its certainty, secretly
Hoping a planetary
Body will cause disruption
To your cycle of sameness.
This celestial being,
Moon, or comet, or black hole,
Will forever emit more
Light and energy than you.
The space between us is best,
For this star is on the verge
Of turning supernova
And what will be born from this
Is too beautiful to bear.

We Stood Up

We are not frightened anymore,
we stood up, we stood up
and there are two of us there will be more,
they'll show up, yeah they'll show up
they'll show up

blame a change of mind
a seismic shift in times
they told us not to fight
but we'll fight it till we die

cos' we are not frightened anymore,
we stood up, we stood up
and there are two of us there will be more,
they'll show up, yeah they'll show up
they'll show up

and so they sunk every ship we sailed
but we stood up, we stood up
and they fought hard, but somewhere fighting failed
they're all shook up, they're all shook up
all shook up

steel and concrete break
beneath the steady waves
of fearless hope and grace
in kindness there is strength.
