Not aloof in the sky
Nor deep in the ocean
Not an unseen possibility
Nor a figment of the fog

You are the gods, ever present, ever living

Your presence is with us
In the air we breathe
In the water that cleanses us
In the fire that warms us

You are the gods, a force of life, a force of growth

Not somewhere above
Nor somewhere below
Not to the left
Nor to the right

You are the gods, everywhere, everything

Our lives and yours entwined
Like one mortal to another
Like the flower and the rain
Like the child and her mother

You are the gods, loving, beloved

Not aloof in the stars
Nor roaming in space
Not lost to history
Nor characters in a show

You are the gods, a living presence, a living power
