One

If you don’t sow the seeds Nothing can grow If you won’t alight the fire We shall all grow old in the cold If you dare not raise the sun We must live in the blackened night If the moon then forgets to rise How do we both see our way in the dark? If you cannot and will not tend to the land We shall watch all we have built crumble and die If the animals are unfed There will be no food for us all If the signs are ignored We must all perish and then fall If the plants are not watered This valley will cease to breath If you forget to feed the birds Then no longer can they sing If the flowers refuse to open What will there be to see? If the bread isn’t made Then the people will grow weak If the eggs do not hatch New life cannot exist If you toss away the gift heart of truth A chance may not be found to put it right If the god’s close their ears Who will listen to us speak? If the wheels become trapped If the Earth pauses on its turn Will you take your seat in life then? Sweet sacred one?
