today I kneel in repentance
to be revived from the sacred well,
rest the wounds that gave birth
to this peaceful moment,
a forever now
I renounce all crude censorship
upon my innocence,
and learn again my thirst and hunger
as a strong and curious cub
today I kneel in gratefulness
to be reborn from the immortal source,
bless the defeats that challenge me
to feel the enigma of nature
and the humbling presence of sun
tonight when I look to the dark waters
beneath the glowing moon,
a reflection awaits me of a vehicle
driven by an eternal light of truth
