EVERYMAN He walked alone through the sunlit plain, Through thorns and sorrows despite the pain, Carrying the precious bud of life within, Giving his life so ours could begin, From African streams he drank his fill, Making his way through vales and hills, Knowing certain the day would come, With life continued the journey done, His blood infused throughout the clan, Humankind depended on this single man, To make the way guided by his heart, Leave safe home when time to part, A companion came to share his way, For life and beyond she would stay, Woman was the generative one, Receptive moon to his creative sun, They travelled across dry desert waste, Driven by elusive water’s sweet taste, Many ways did their lonely path lead, The tree of life planted with their seed, Two souls, now one, lift their eyes, Witness the meeting of earth and sky, Strengthened hearts surging blood, Mankind’s birth became a rising flood, Stretched between poles so far, Spread like heaven’s eternal stars, His children’s children walk the earth, Each one confirms Everyman’s worth.
