For Sophia
Esther Allen 1966 (National city, California)
April 23(For Sophia)
I sing my song of love
To both the raven and the dove
My children are at war.
As they’ve done this all before.
Rebellious children of love and light
Step into my presence and regain your sight
You’re not motherless orphans
your not alone in the night
A lack of understanding even with the fullest cup
will keep you lost forever
Though, my love won’t give you up!
Love is the way for you to see
For you to reclaim your sovereignty
As you were taken hostage
from the very start
It’s time that you awaken
and see me with your heart!
The universe has been waiting
A journey knocks at your door
And brings the gift of freedom forever and ever more
You’ve forgotten your one true
Mother as if she never was
Your hopeless addiction to power
has bred this colorless lust.
When will you stop despising me?
And treating me with disgust?
A deception played you long ago
And for me you lost all trust!
I will it not this fallen state-
remain within your soul!
Too many hearts have broken
To mend them is my goal.
I’ve come to claim my rightful crown
I will not yield
nor- will I bow down.
My heart is fully open-
True love reigns once again
I will quicken the hearts in women
I shall stir the truth in men.
Put down your evil weapons and
remember... who you are
your breathe of life should show you
Theres been a prison built round your heart.
hold fast to your light- as your soul knows the way
I am with you always, and I am here to stay.
So shall we start this journey?
Will you allow me to guide your way?
It’s time for us to fly now, so shall we fly away?
Let us fly up into the heavens
Where a new home for you awaits.
Look up and see the time has come
As I open heavens gates.
Esther Allen
