Embrace Life
In the face of darkness and despair
In the presence of death and uncertainty
We embrace life
We embrace the smell of flesh & blood
The textures of bark, stone and skin
We place feathers in our hair
And string beads around our ankles
And we dance
We dance to the pulse of life
We look into the eyes of the eclipse
And we laugh
We laugh with tear stained faces
We laugh, we cry, we hold hands
And we fly
We fly into the time of madness
We become more real, more alive, and more human
We dip our hands into the river of blood
And we remember
We remember what it is to be alive
And we rejoice
We embrace each other and sing out loud
We climb into the dome of heaven
And we reach upward to the soil
And we embrace life
