Earth will be healed
Perhaps
When we forget about Eden
That too ideal garden
When we eschew heaven
That too perfect eternity
When we know
And feel
And love
That here and now
With all its bumps and bruises
All its beauty and beastliness
Its dirt and dust
With all its imperfect perfection
Here and now
Is our divine birthright

Unfortunately
It really does seem easier
For a camel to galumph
Unconcerned
Through the eye of that needle
Than for us
Who are so rich right now
To heal this
Our heavenly home
Our homely heaven

Earth will be healed
Perhaps
When we know
And feel
And love
THIS here and now
