More Than Anything!

more than anything....
i want people to be free!
everybody, everywhere....

joined together as one,
feeling the tide come and go,
on sands that do not grasp!

more than anything,
i want to be the rain
that falls after the drought....

the snow that wraps the beaten earth
in the blanket of newness, and hope.
more than anything...

i want to be the cup...
the hammer and the nails,
the bowl of rice, the tent,

the fire that those cold gather round....
more than anything,
i want to be the steps,

the bridge, and the lighthouse....
whatever you need on the path,
that leads you home to freedom!
