AS YOU SOW

What moves the universe is now revealed
Not as a supreme being but a field
Of cosmic energy deeply endowed
With guiding consciousness we’ve not yet plowed.

This field is ours to sow and grow and reap
Once we awake from our protracted sleep
To realize the ways we may resolve
Our present fearful quandaries and evolve.

For too long we’ve assumed that Earth is ours,
Abusing it with wild and reckless powers
We’ve wrested with ungoverned intellect
That now a higher wisdom must correct.

To know what is of value and pursue
It ardently is just what we must do.
