She pads
About on her pedestal
And curls up
To sleep
Tucking
The world about her feet
Like a blanket.

Beyond the countless stars and whirling space,
Beyond the endless nights and endless days,
A Force runs through us all, through all our ways;
Beyond the cloak of disbelief: a Face.
Within us all, throughout this daily pace,
Within the land, the sea, the sun’s fresh rays,
There lies a Name which calls us all to praise;
Within this world resides a spark of Grace.

Toward His presence march we day by day –
Some crawl, some nearly fly, some try to stand.
Toward the One within, beyond us all,
Some scream, some cry, some laugh, some try to pray.
Toward the throne we lift an outstretched hand;
Some understand, some never hear Him call.
