All Life’s Many Cycles
From the Boundless Life collection
All life’s many cycles
Rest within God’s circle
And reveal Earth dying and yet living.
Pastures wrapped in stillness,
Woods asleep in darkness,
Each sustain the life-force of Earth’s people.
Birds that fly the heavens,
Fish that swim the oceans,
Each sustain the life-force of Earth’s people.
Field and mountain creatures,
With the whole of Nature,
All sustain the life-force of Earth’s people.
Growing through each dying,
Spinning beauty’s being,
Our Earth Mother births God’s gift of living.
