Immanence from Moonlight by Levin Osmond

In immanence, both
goddesses and gods do live
Within the world – in nature
and machines which move;
Despite the words of bitter men,
they need not prove
The ways that their great
sanctity to us does give.

Inside the trite,
polemic universities
Exists the rage of Atheists -
whose caustic lair
Is occupied by Christian,
propagandic prayer;
We have our faith without
their daft perversities.

Past boundaries,
modernity, and partisans,
Are beautified,
illustrious divinities
Which speak to us in
personal affinities -
In forms of both the
mystics and the artisans.

In cycles turn the
seasons, like society -
Reminding us the world
we know is fleeting here.
In blessing us, their
presence is innately clear;
They show us timeless
strength and pure variety.
