A Prayer for us all
Ringing out from the fabled heavens
the mystical realm that gave us birth
beyond the far blue mountains
in the grandeur of the universe
A chant of love and healing
love and healing, love and healing
At the silver call of daybreak
in the rejuvenation of all things
unto the golden haze of twilight
as dusk descends on the dying day
A chant of love and healing
love and healing, love and healing
Heralding the season’s turn
lightning rain ‘n rolling thunder
an arch of multi-colored rainbow
across the ripple of savanna plains
A chant of love and healing
love and healing, love and healing
Carrying from afar
temple bells that chime
a balm of love and healing
in lonely human hearts
A balm of love and healing
love and healing, love and healing
Through the poisoned chalice
of misconceiving doctrines
dysfunctional humans caged
in prisons of the mind
A balm of love and healing
love and healing, love and healing
When the idle chatter of the misguided
forms utterances of fervent zealots
that foreswear the promised virgins
to chant the prophets’ prayers
Of love and healing, love and healing
love and healing, love and healing.
