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.
