we venerated gods
we venerated the One
worshiped trees, saints, and demons
ghosts, ancestors, the sun
we pleaded to the stars
"take us to where you are"
we lay down on the Earth
chest, belly, face-first
we went everywhere
a seeker could go
across the country, across the ocean
in wind and storm and snow
finally we gave up
the truth too hard to find
an answer arose
so quietly, kindly
arose from inside
