Rising, Rooted

Now is the time
to be still and listen,
This is the beginning,
Help us to hear,
Rooted and rising,
The sound of the sea,
A whisper, a murmur,
Help us to be
Fluid and flowing,
The womb of creation,
Rising in water,
Rooted in earth,
The Sacred is rising
In time to give birth,
Mother and daughter
Sister and wife,
Rising and rooted,
Help us to see
Shekinah is rising,
Speak in my heart,
Sophia and Mary,
Teach us to love.
