My Body Is My Earthly Ark

My Body Is My Earthly Ark



My body is my earthly Ark,

It’s proof against the Flood;

It holds all Creatures in its heart,

And knows that they are good.

 It’s builded firm of genes and cells,

And neurons without number;

My Ark enfolds the million years

That Adam spent in slumber.

 And when Destruction swirls around,

To Ararat I’ll glide;

My Ark will then come safe to land

By light of Spirit’s guide.

 <p class="MsoNormal">With Creatures all, in harmony

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ll pass my mortal days,

<p class="MsoNormal">While each in its appointed voice Sings the Creator’s praise.

from The God's Gardeners Oral Hymnbook from Margaret Atwoods'  Year of the Flood
