My heart grows heavy.
I don’t know who I am.
It feels like any wind can blow me down.
The water thins me.
The fire tears right through.
I need to put my feet back on the ground.
I pull into the driveway.
I leave my phone behind.
My bare feet find the edge of paving stones.
My old friend birch tree
awaits with open limbs
to hold me in its roots as I go home.
(CHORUS)
I go to the woods where I belong.
I go to the woods where I feel strong
and at my heart’s insistence
I can let go all resistance.
I go to the woods where I belong.
Where I belong.
I hear the singing
the laughter of the trees
I close my eyes and let my breathing slow
The way opens inside me
A red path leading down
to a hole in the stone w here the bubbling lava flows.
I submerge my body
into Gaia’s womb
I feel the forces pulling on the flow.
In that raging torrent
I feel a peace inside
A piece of the Divine among the whole.
(CHORUS)
And for a moment
I am everything.
A whole universe looking in a mirror
As the universe
I just have to know
what I am like and where I choose to go.
A drop of desire falls
and the mirror moves
and ripples in the gravity of impact
More drops follow
the mirror bows and shakes
and breaks when the last drop makes contact
(CHORUS)
The shattered sand explodes
I watch one tiny fragment
go flying toward a pale blue dot
That small speck hits me
sitting ‘neath my birch tree.
And I’m in the woods alone with all my thoughts.
And suddenly I know
ROUND 1
We are all god
All of us together we are all god
We are all god.
All of us together
All of us together
We are all god
ROUND 2
I am a speck
one of many
looking out
with my one track mind
