"Grace Meets Power"

Creating God,

for those who are Wise

to the Ways of the Earth:

Thank You.

 For those who Listen 

to the Language

of the Tree, Rock, River, Earth,

Oceans, Stars, Creatures, Sky;

Praise.

Teach us the Vocabulary

to Convey our Care,

the Words to tell the Earth

we hear Her crying for Peace,

the Syllables of Solace

for All we have Lost,

the Gestures of Healing

for All we have Harmed.
