Day 1 - For Perun

[jaroslaw]

First in a list of Daily Prayers to Perun I am writing.

-----

You are the voice in the trees
My constant guide
We have walked together hand in hand.

King of the hardy Oak
Dweller in the highest of mountains
Lord of Thunder
Thrower of Lightning
You are Great, O God!

It is in our nature as mortals to die
We shrivel and die as leaves on a tree
in a single season
compared to you,
Deathless One.

My ancestors honoured You.
My ancestors served You.
They are dead, but You live on, Perun.
And because I yet live,
I shall love and honour You to the day I die,
for it is right for mortals to love the Gods.
I strive to do my best for You,
eternal, deathless, almighty, Perun.

A life spent in service to You is never wasted.
What else can I do but serve One who is
Everything, and Who fills my heart with joy!
I shall die happy one day
knowing that everything I do
it is in service to You.
For Your Will is all that matters.
