A lullaby

With the soul of a mystic nun
With the heart of a whirling poet 

With the magnificent mind of a sun 
With the watery wisdom of a whale 

With the courage of a warrior-tiger 
With the feet of a dancing horse 

With the speech of a song-bird 
With the feather like fingers of a luminescent butterfly 

With the benevolence of an elephant king 
With the generosity of the giraffe 

With the humus hands open like earth’s bed 
With the seed of an idea creating rhizome in sands 

With the innocence of morning dew 
With the fragrance of wildflower

With the sacrifice of the fiery ascension 
With the devotion of the whispering wind 

You have come to life
O divine child, feel the thirst awake within you 
O divine child, rise to the power that yearns within 
O divine child, become the eternal effervescent love you are made of
