She stands by the white wall of wave
a dune never swallowed
she stands and is the sea which does not stand
she moves through the dark cloud of night
unbroken light in darkness
she moves and is the dark which does not move
she cries in the burnt heart of earth
a tear never withered
she cries and is the earth which does not cry
standing, moving, crying ever
wave and light and earth respond
she hears in the blue caves of ice
a song without an ending
she hears and is the ice which does not hear
she feels the glistening air of dawn
a finger never calloused
she feels and is the air which does not feel
she turns in the grey face of rock
a dance never mastered
she turns and is the rock which does not turn
hearing, feeing, turning ever
ice and air and rock respond.

Commentary:
Why suppose for a moment that God should be symbolized only with the grammatical masculine?
