New day

My earth...
garden of the Goddess,
my garden of joy,
I was dreaming about you
so long ago,
my dream of peace,
I hold you in my heart
with no doubt,
this choice is mine
in the image of beauty,
of grace, and of healing
I walk towards you
into the sun of a
New day
and open my arms
to embrace you, dear planet,
dear home, so tender
your soul, so gentle,
so strong - once a battlefield
where visions were lost
and lives and hope
destroyed and denied,
you were crying and bleeding
but still living and hoping,
you' re a vision nobody
can ever lose
Even the darkest corners
of power distorted
are filled with you
silently - everywhere you are
touching and awaking
yourself to be
glorious and triumphant,
my love, again
you are true, you are free
So let us be
the keepers of the dream
that we are meant to be
