A mazing grace the path unfurls

That winds away within

And leads us 'round in loops and whorls

Upon our Mother's skin

 

If, as we walk along the trail

That leads us towards the Good

The path beneath our feet should fail

Amidst the tangled wood

 

'Tis grace that winks while we must guess

Which turn may be correct

And so reveals some blessedness

That we did not expect

 

Then grace shall guide us safely home

Upon the Sun-lit Earth

'Til next She stirs our souls to roam

From death unto rebirth

 

To all who wander clueless in

Our Mother's winding ways

Despair ye not, but turn and ken

That grace can be a maze
