Earthly Condition

Earthly Condition
We your lonely servants tremble in our cave
Bereaved beneath in our ignorance
We look up pleading guidance
Seeking a place to pray

You with the face of provocation
Trading wisdom and mystery from the dark
Floating in our imaginations 
Threatening joy and terror
Cosmic disciplinarian to the deserted

We endure your words
And on them we rely
