A PRAYER OF ELEMENTS:

Earth gathering her skirts around her,

Praying for every root, seed & tiny burr,

And kneeling upon her forested knees,

Asking Goddess above, to protect her trees.

 

Waters of the world, uniting in wetted words,

Praying in watery temples for every beast & bird,

And in voices of silky oceans & silty river beds,

Asking Gods of tridents, to bow their saline heads.

 

Sun, from his chariot, gleaming & softly beaming,

Praying to Gods grand, in golden sunny dreaming,

And in shimmering arias, his psalms soft singing,

Asking that his warmth, in cold lands, go winging.

 

Moon, mantled in bejeweled vestment of beams,

Praying to those higher that her nightly dreams,

And her voice of Angels & silvered starry eyes,

Asking merely for love, for all among her skies.

 

The wind howled & blew in his breathy breeze,

Praying in sighs, for all those, who coldly freeze,

And all over the world, his prayer was duly heard,

Asking his blowy Gods, in Holy & sacred words.

 

Oh to Deities all, for all we are about to receive,

For gathered harvests, full nests & falling leaves,

For feather, fur, scale, talon, paw & all fallen men,

Elemental voices, to Gods, joined in prayer, Amen,

AMEN.
