Be Moved

Be moved
By the cry of the innocent in need
Be moved
By the power of a tiny mustard seed
Be moved
By the hunger cries of a people holding on
Be moved
Realizing your children are growing and moving on.
Be moved
By new knowledge acquired as a gift
Be moved
When you see someone holding more than they can lift
Mountainside, oceantide, and river runs
When Soul abides, friend confides, the setting of the sun.
Be moved
By what you see, and what you can be at your best
Be moved
Until your body comes to its blessed and final rest
Being moved means just that, you see from a different place
Being moved means your movements don’t always have to be a race.
Being moved by the force of creation and love
Will never quite feel that it fits like a glove.
That discomfort calling us wherever our bodies and hearts will go
Be moved to participate in an awe inspiring flow
So if you feel stuck, bored and uninspired
If monotony has calmed that internal fire
Be moved, change space, change your mind and your heart
Being moved never means starting over at the start
So take all of your beliefs, experiences, hurts and joys
and be moved to fresh perspective void of big ploys
meant to restrict and inflict mental pain
Be moved from a sleep to your feet once again
You come back every week looking for something that will sustain you
But the restriction of place benefits just the few
It is only those who are free that can be moved
Beloved be free, be moved
