I have been undergoing a journey in my religious beliefs using a star diagram that forces me to focus on one of my gods at a time and understand what they each teach me in turn as I meditate on them, their natures, and their effect on my psyche.

You will never
Not while we walk with you
For we shall not let you walk alone
Who are your eternal companions
You will never know loneliness
Not while you hold our hand
For we are your friend, your lover
Who are your eternal companions
You will never know a sad fate
Not while you dream with us
For we are unendingly creative
Who are your eternal companions
You will never fail
Not while you fear not to try
For we are your encouragement
Who are your eternal companions
You will never fear death
Not while you live a fruitful life
For we see you even when others do not
Who are your eternal companions
You will never die
Not while we live to remember you
For we have you in our hearts forever
We Gods, your eternal companions

High Upon the Mountain
High upon the mountain
Where the white caps meet the skies
And this world but grazes the heavenly realm
I spy you, O Lord of the Lyre
Where dancers spin in joy
Musicians accompany with glee
And all do you honor, shining Apollo
Low upon the earth
Where men sing your praises
And in ecstacy lay bare their hearts
I spy you, O Lord of Healing
Where nurses ply their caring trade
Mothers and Fathers pray in hope
And all call you, if not by name, loving Apollo
Immersed in the holy waters
Where purification may occur if sought
And all our doubts may be washed away
I spy you, O Lord of Purification
Where the wolf and the dear drink
Human and animal joined to a fair purpose
To drink of the waters of life, cleansing Apollo
