Separate on the way
Separated for today
Out of water, out of waves
Treading forwards, lime and clay
You were here before me, Cambrian breeze
Rising up from a quiet place
My unrest took me from the sea
Sedimentary harmony
Unearth the toiling soil and debris
Unearth the toiling soil softly
Unearth the fossils where you find me
You’ll find a half of you still part of me

Up in the growth
The air swims through my hair
A touch unknown
Up in the canopy
A sickled seedling sewn
A prophecy
Sister, I cannot choose stillness like you
Running from nothing
Still I must go
Towards the precipice
Up in the sky
The glass and metal rise
And leave below
And way up high
A vanquished vertigo
A lord reviled
Sister, I cannot see how you’re like me
Standing in silence
Still and serene
Are you lonely?
Up in the air
The dancing droplets grow
And fall to earth
And down below
The mighty furnace burns
A fearsome glow
Sister, I do not know how not to grow
Teach me, release me
How did I go?
Towards the precipice

Which way?
Which way?
Which way?
The sun has gone away
The sun...
I stand on a path
Overgrown and far
Which way?
Which way?
Can’t you see the problem?
Can’t you see the truth of it all?
Can’t you see the way out?
Which way?
Which way?
Which way?

Symbiosis

I was blinded on the way
Forgot your name, I know
I got scared and ran away
Too proud to go back home
But now I know
I’ve always known
The breeze that carries you to me
And seeds a memory buried deep
The parting earth reveals to me
My feet entangled underneath
I have always known
And when I go about my day
We move in eternal dance
But I took far too much away
And led us into dark
But now I know
I’ve always known
The soil that sleeps you day and night
The same upon which I survive
And air that once belonged to me
Will soon be coursing through your leaves
I have always known that you are my home
I have always known
