We carry this, our water song, to freedom, through all time As trees keep sacred sap forever flowing as they climb Delivering the fruit and flower of the One Divine To nourish and be nourished in the sacramental wine
To follow the bright Star that calls us ever to new ground
To always push the edges where stability is found
To live among, and yet always apart from, humankind
To see the patterns in the threads of all lives intertwined
And, holding all the heartbreak history has ever known
To offer us the best of us through service, rightly honed
Connecting ancient prophecies to futures they did dream
And always seeing farther still – the ever-glowing gleam
