It's time.  It is time now.
Time to pen our future.
We make our own reality through the words we write,
words we speak.  

It's time.  Now is the time
For all good people to come to the rescue of their nation.
Time for us to speak love.  
Time for us to write ourselves into a new dimension.  

Choose your dream and make it real with words.
That is my belief.  
The more vibrant and brilliant and sparkling and pure,
The more we will have opened the door.  

This is the time of our life's test.
It is time for us to put away distress.
Can you hear the angels calling our names?
We cannot remain the same.  

It is time for us to be aware
Of all the others of us out there
That we are all a part of the whole
And when one is sick, the other falls.

But if two or more are gathered in "prayer"
There also will Love's Spirit share.
And the flowing oneness that truly is
Can lift lost souls from this abyss.

Now is the time. There is so much work that our words can do to restore us to whole.  A wonderful write, Iliana.

I have always felt the chime of together upon these blue pages...the benchmark where truth is shared from one heart to another...and reality can be made from the interplay of word to word to word.
Happy Easter.

The first is a little soapboxish,
But it is good to stand up and talk,
Such is the power of the word,
Ends with a renewal theme
Which is more than appropriate for the day,
Enjoyed the read
