Soft Earth Dreaming
Soft Earth Dreaming,
Dream yourself into me,
Take this empty vessel
And use it as you will.
Let my skin sprout grey fur,
And my nails shape shift into
Soil-rich claws,
Let my eyes become dark,
Penetrating the veil,
And, my voice
Ring out in almighty howls.
Yes this, even this
Would I do for you!
Soft Earth Dreaming,
Dream yourself into me,
Soften my edges
So that beetle and owl
May come in and go out at will.
Transform my arms into
Strong wings, capable of soaring
To the moon.
Root my legs in the
Rich fertile land,
Let me hair grow long,
A home for bird and beast alike.
Yes this, even this
I am willing to do for you!
Oh, Soft Earth Dreaming,
My deep Beloved,
Dream yourself into me.
