The Majesty Everywhere
You are all kings and queens,
sons and daughters
of Mother Earth and Father Sun.
God knows you by name
and by eyelash.
And yet you would rather hide,
rather abdicate your throne
in fear and false promises
from fallen angels.
Take notice of your authority.
Make sure it is seasoned with love
and garlanded by all that lives
on land and in sea.
Let no decree come to your lips
unless rooted in your being,
and in your profound realization
of the majesty everywhere.
