When the land

When the wide, brown, dead
Land, though greened with the
Crops forced out of barren
Soil, busy with the motion of
Scurrying souls unbound,
Scorched bare with the
Unseeing mindstruck to that 
Which does not exist.

When the land wakes,
Woken by the devoted
Attention to becoming whole
To bringing to life
That which lives a little
And abundance to that
Which thrives.

When the land is woken
By people awake to their
Role in a world that
Would yet live
Only then will we know
What it means to be 
Human in a time a place 
That needs us.

Then the land
Shall ring as a
Crystal golden
Bell hung from the
Firmament, with its
Pure call bringing
New worlds
Into being.
