Revival
By
Dimpho Makokoe ft Your Irony

I thank you
God
For creating heaven and earth
For filling earth with
Plants and animals
So I may have dominion on them
Thank you
God
For loving me
For you gave me power over what was before me
I am an animal and a plant
For parts of me are parts of them
For from them
The traits you passed to me
Suparsing mine by giving me
Consciousness
Wisdom
The ability to discern right from wrong

Now that you
God
Revived me
The plants, animals and I
Are one
As I’m one with you
I thank you
For loving me
For you created me in your image
Your kingdom on earth
You gave to me
To rule and dominate
Now my soul composes songs with birds
As plants dance to our melodies
Backing us up with fragrances
As we all together
Give praise to the creator of us all
You God of ages
The redeemer of all
Thank you for reviving me
Opening my chakras to the power in me
To connect
Relate
Converse with more than human
For even I can revive a dying flower
Just as the smell of flowers
Can revive my dying sense of smell
I too can revive a dying animal
Just as much as it’s marrows
Strengths my dying bones
I, plants and animals
Your creations
Have come together as one
Each a protector of another
Each a home to another
For your revival
God
Reached more than just my mind
But the spirit in me
That plants and animals
Surrender to
For they know
That is the leader of them
Given dominion
Over them
Though I came after
For you said
The first shall be the last
And
The last the first

Let the revival spread
Be contagious
With
Man, animals and plants
Living in harmony
For each on is one.
