I am of the Earth
Feet firmly planted on rich soil
Blades of grass between my toes
Accepting earthly pleasures
Rejecting gods above
Refusing gods below
With water rushing behind me
I am home
But he is of the sky
A star nearly consumed by darkness
The Tao says to abandon desires
He does so with grace
With a cross upon his neck
He finds his soul
