Ode to Love

Ashlia had left her cards at home that night. This wasn't about playing games, but activating superpowers- gifts of The Holy Spirit. There was one signature tell tale way to do it, but she wasn't going to reveal that just yet. They had just gotten there and snacks were standard fare.  She was working on a tangle of knot. Pulling from the vertices, an arrangement inspired her to say "Yes!" combined with a lemon bar's zest.

It may be that ignoring the worst 8th of one's experience is the best that one can expect. Then, as paradise expresses, it will be 1/64th. This will be an exponentiation, like a bubble.

"Your life has been exceptionally hard and you are exceptional. We will not lose sight of that- or give you more than you can bear- and neither should you. You had a traumatic experience recently; you have been healing. All that needs to will be forgiven, find beauty and joy in all that doesn't need forgiveness."

I asked for a sign And found a sign presented Just after the time In the space between When it is still accepted Though a bit less clear So I take the course Unsure if it's the right one God, I hope it is My hope is message Changes with this next go 'round Explaining the last Bringing back my hope Renewing the narrative It's in your power Wheat brought back to life The almond blossom blooming As if from nothing I am in your hands Please, LORD, do not forsake me Please stand by my side Reveal the beauty That these endeavors once held On this final trip

Metamorphosis First do no harm fireworks Then we will be one These days have been hard Yes, unbelievably hard We will be worth it A storm is coming It is inevitable There's a switch to flip Ushering in new  We keep finding a way through How could this be stopped?

Not remembering In this way we are the same Searching silent shorea Seeking out our fame  Unwrapping as if the gift Legends yet unseen I'm gonna stay cool Laying under the sunlight 'Neath the summer sun What do we look like? Keeping here our stoic pose? Out on the corner We wage with the worst I had never considered The weight that was worth The long winding road Beared for me a lesser mark Than seeing you through Automatic smile I love keeping that power  Right when you wake up Once we have a chance Let us all throw a petal For honor held here
