The Invitation - Downhere

The near miss, the car swerves, and a rewrite in destiny

With lights swirling round, the sirens would sound as you say this can’t

Happen to me

And all of the voices (choices) are ringing in your ears

Then she lets go of your hand, and you can no longer stand in the

Refraction’s of broken glass

Kneeling makes it easier to catch up with your heart

And all of the voices are ringing in your ears

Ch

Birth is the invitation to live

Just as death is the invitation home

Pain is the invitation to surrender all, surrender all

Joy is the invitation to walk with days

The arrangements die before grieving begins

But no one stops crowding the lines

And the whole world should know

As this cancerous sorrow grows

The invitation is the mess your living in
