The cracks in the ceiling

Make a frowning face

of this house

Leaving a mark

Like the joy that you’re stealing

When hatred spews from your mouth

---

But we find light in the dark.

---

Find the light…

In the cracks of the ceiling

In the lines of your face

As you smile through the feelings

Of dread and disgrace.

---

Though you might

find fear

In the cracks of the ceiling

And find

the end is near

As you smile

through those feelings…

---

Feel you’re

Just so out of place.

---

Try to find the light.

---

Find yourself in the cracks

Plug them whole with your strength

And love one another

to great length

Find yourself in the smiles

Make happiness your self-pact.

---

Cause those cracks in the ceiling

Are rainfall of sorrow – drowning

Awash with feelings you dread

But when it’s someone else flailing instead

You’ll find those cracks

Can be filled up with care

And kindness;

both buoyant and healing.

---

When someone else’s house is frowning

And spirit drowning

Don’t let that sorrow seep in

Use your compassion.

---

Be there.

---

Plug the cracks with your love.

Fill your house with that love.

Build each other with love.

Lovingly,

Build one another up.
