Prayer

Ancient deity of water and sky Hear my most unworthy cry Know that I ask without greed or guile To borrow your strength for a little while Although this prayer is my desire I only ask what is truly required Bathing in your sacred breath As I sit in this circle in the earth Knowing the elemental power I convene with you at this zero hour
