“Chairo [joy]
Is something,
The ancient Greeks tell us,
That is found
Only in God
And comes
With virtue and wisdom.
It isn’t
A beginner’s virtue;
It comes
As the culmination.
They say its opposite is
Not sadness
But fear.”
– Anne Robertson

Hospital mud
Air buds
Talking run
Quiet love
Encapsulated sun
Visit done
Moving chairs
Loud stare
Praise God
Justified life
We live
Freedom come
⁃ For Andre, my brother
Step into the valley
Step where there is no shame
Find rest from the madness
Bring Heaven down
And pray
Don’t stop to think what happens
Don’t believe what fate will say
Your soul is free from darkness
Bring Heaven down
And pray
Love not your own
Love is not found yesterday
There is no space for sadness
Bring Heaven down
And pray
Get alone with Him
Get understanding of love that Is
Bring Heaven down
Bring Heaven down
Bring Heaven down
And pray
