In their presence

The spirits in collusion
Surround us now like priests
Each blessing us with more power
Each permitting us further

In all the world we seek the flow of the righteous energy
It gets the best of us too often and we lose it like a favorite book

Some of these spirits worship us until dusk
when they fall back into shadow car crash sudden
And it is we who must worship ourselves as darkness finds our faults
The spirits in collusion lift us as we awake

Spear sword or dagger
Not a soldier nor a begger
Taught to believe we were alone from birth
The spirits dance

Let it not be in vain
And when they come to tend us
To open the gates on our prison of perceptions
Let us all awaken

Ever blessed with their presence
Let them help us create
