if the earth one day wills to live,
fate must obey; the dark must give.
rivers will reclaim their course,
and glaciers resist their starved remorse.
if the earth one day wills to breathe,
even stone will break its sheath.
oceans, rising in tempered rage,
will write renewal on every age.
if she turns in wind, in flood, in flame,
none will escape the calling of her name.
