Painting by Oleg Nazarenko
May The Goddess forgive us
when the buds begin to cry
because we can't decipher
the grammar of compassion,
the rituals of tolerance.
May The Goddess forgive us
when the oceans bleed
and our furry brothers die
to feed our ignorance and blindness.
May The Goddess forgive us
when our sisters trees are hurt
to serve our cheap whims
and empty egos before the cock
crows.
May The Goddess forgive us
for learning so little about
the mysteries and sacredness
of life.
May The Goddess forgive us
for our attachments, disconnections,
confusion and separateness.
May The Goddess forgive us
for saying the Name of Love
in vain.
