Goddess, there are so many who
walk blindly across the land.
So many hold the words of agreement
in their mouths.
So many hold no space for questions.
I stand afraid as the words mount,
as the armies join one to another
boot to boot.
So many.
But you, Goddess, you know life
as simple.
In its dazzle and turn
Lies the confidence of
remembering.
Nothing is changeless as change.
Nothing.
This is my shield.
This, my ecstasy.
Here is my Goddess, here, the
God who hears me.
Upon Earth do I lay my head.
No thousands can move the
course of life with their strength.
But each heart flaming towards
love can remake the world.
—Earth Psalms
