Thunders above I start to sway skylike

Grass roll below I start to grow earthround

My soul to the earth, that outward expression

of God's mind portrayed in his holy possession

of every tree, of every rock, of every cloud

that roams our sky in lonely expulsion.

We are the fallen, the eaters of lies

and the foster-parents of fear.

Blessed are we to live even near

wide open fields, high open hills, and long open skies.
