Leave behind illusion’s ways

Culture plants within the mind,

Clothed in vestments of the faith

Masking truths we need to find,

Claiming rights are for the few

Over all of human kind.

Each religion weaves as one

Culture and the Spirit’s life.

Sometimes culture takes control

Spreading ways of hate and strife

But when Spirit has her sway

Love becomes life’s true midwife.

Deeper than discussing God,

Deeper than each sacred space,

Deeper than each book or rite

Mystery meets us face to face;

God within the always now,

Oneness with the source of grace.
