What We Need - Theresa Roach Melia

[Larry Robinson]

What  We  Need 


on earth we need    nothing new   no gizmo style fads  

no media distraction       what we need is old 

ancient  primal  primitive  pagan      we need torah runes testament 

vedas dharma chant gregorian   taiko drum salutations to the sun 

we need what we have been given  from the beginning Word  

rolling thunder god  condensing out of Spirit  

the deep  the water  the firmament  the air  the fire  

the whispering  whistling wind of Spirit   pulsing in all matter 

what we need radiates from the sun  the stars  from the Bodhi tree  

the burning bush speaking to our hearts  

with our drums   we call back to the cosmos  

what we need is   what we knew as Bushmen   who heard the angels  

who saw the light shining from within all things 

what we need is to remember   who we are   what we know  

with our bare feet on the earth  our round heads below the dome of the sky 

make one endless gracious bow  to the great being of Love 

who gives us life on earth   life in the stars  

make one endless gracious bow    to what we know  

the truth of love    the love of truth
