A month of prayer and contemplation
Fast for compassion and reflection
Ends in feasting and festivities
Ask forgiveness in communities
A day that marks the great ascension
Forty days after resurrection
Our suffering can now be released
As bright Divine light is now increased
All around the Earth this blessed day
People celebrate after they pray
Joined in their sacred understanding
Light and good-will are now expanding
Would it be possible to join hands
Uniting hearts in all distant lands
Embracing our shared humanity
Ending hatred and brutality
Let us all rise up in consciousness
Dropping our dogmas and righteousness
Knowing that we are all related
United we are elevated
Today fill your heart with gratitude
Striding forth with love and fortitude
Know that your essence is immortal
With kindness fly through Heaven’s portal
