eyes twinkling high
above faded sky
i ask why
why not fly
abandon selfish lies
forge spirit ties
no need to cry
in the end we all die
yet now i must try
become self-seeing spy
let nothing sneak by
that is not from on high
find spirit ally
the beam in my own eye
for love cannot be shy
it must to all the world reply
and with ardent words decry
“I will not be denied!”
