I've been captured by the flag
Of sincere loving kindness.
Just to see it wave in the wind for me
Brings me to my knees.
All my philosophies fail.
All my reasons,
All my hurts,
And all my abilities
Collide with a power greater than,
And are awash,
And something new is happening.

I had an urge,
A premonition,
A dream that told me you would come,
And so I had one clue,
And only one,
But I followed it
Because I knew
That this white flag would fly.

But the part I didn't know
Was the monumental scope,
The flagpole here at national level,
The enormous drape of linen white,
Flown so high
For all to see
And few to recognize,
And the power
To re-create,
To be, to do
Something new
With you
Is monumental too.
