I am broken, and I'm

Without energy. I need

Something different

To go to...

Water falls from heaven

And the Earth is dampened.

I'm standing there with a blank stare...

And I...run, I run

And I...stumble, oh

And I...fall, I fall

And I crawl...

I am muddy, and it

Doesn't bother me. And I

Find a body

Of water up ahead.

As I near the water, I can

Feel the power, and I

Cry out, "Mother,

Can you help me?"

Then my body gives way; I am submerged.

With eyes wide open, I care not that I am of Earth.

And I drown and I breathe.. in and out.

Without pain, I surrender; I am sustained.

And the trees reach to the water to lend me their fragrant flowers and oils.

And the fires down below reach up to boil.

When I reach the bottom, the roots

Take hold of me, and the

Soil surrounds me

And buries me..

There in my tomb, in my

Earthly cocoon, there I

Incubate;

I am re-made.

And the water is no more; it is absorbed.

When the fire recedes, air hardens the soil.

Time to wake

The Earth quakes

I emerge...

Unlearned.
