Courageous energy, adventurer of mind and action;

warrior, righter of wrongs, sentinel of honor.

Seeker, provider, protector,

(tribute and sorrows beyond measure)  

loyal sentry, your vigil is over - rest now.

My champion, captive to your own quest,

release the burden, quiet a ravaging hunger.

Heal your bloodied brow.

Awaken to transformed spirit within

-     soar with open heart;

Awaken to renewed spirit without

-     embrace cherished harmonies.

Awaken to bounty unfathomed

-     become Guardian of  Life.

Turn toward me -

     I rise with gentle power, helping you see.

Turn toward me -

     I rise with deeper kindness, we are freed.

Turn toward me -

Place your hands in mine; cradle the world with me.

Heal our separation in compassionate embrace.

Create The Garden anew.
