CAST OFF THE VEIL
Cast off the veil
Our world
Is not meant to live
In darkness
In doubt
In fear
In hate.
Precious spirit
Shining bright
Cradled among the
Brewing clouds.
Mighty spirit
Towering wood
That nourishes the
Verdant soil.
True spirit
Flowing steady
Pours her essence over
Hill and glen.
Man or woman
Light or dark
Earth embraces
All her children.
Cast off the veil
Gaze at the sky
Stand tall, wrapped
In sunlight
In joy
In peace
In love.
