I crawl deep into the earth
Through the cracks and following the stone
The rock
The immensity of solid
Down and deeper
Until the chill eases and the warmth rises
In darkness disoriented
The only sound is the echo of myself
Why
Why
Why
Who are you
What are you
Where are you going
What will you do
Do
Do
I am a star shining in the void
Within me I am within the world
Isolated I connect with the all-that-is
Even you there
Drifting across the stone
The cathedral ceiling
You are a meteor passing through the cave
A flash of brilliance here and gone again
You were always there
You were never there
Time ceases infinite
The light will grow and I will make my way back
From the revelations of this sleep
The long lingering nap of devotion
I am a tree
I am a bear
I am the snow laying bleak across the landscape
Tossed by the winds
Blown by fate
I take up my place in the void
Singing the hymns of creation
Singing the plants back to life
Singing the trees to unfold
Spring wells from within the cavern of my heart
Radiating with the warmth of the earth
Near the center of life
Take up the drum
Take up the bow
There are battles and prey
We are hungry for new life
Better ways
Soon
Soon
The dawn will light the horizon
And we will sleep no more
