In verse and in stanza
The rhythm of your heartbeat echoes
From the womb of the earth
Sprouting like mushrooms
To feed the famished
I feel the drums
Ricocheting in the distance
Yet so close to the lining
Of my heart
In sombre tones
Before now i lay low, forlorn
Like dying leaf
But the pulsating rhythm of
Your unencumbered love
Streams wakefulness
Into my spirit
And here I am
Fresh like the yolk
Of the crescent moon...
Sailing the virgin cloud...
Your voice wakes
The dying ember
Your lines breathed out
From the depth of truth
Cuddles my inside being
With an elixir
And I am emerging
Like the sun
From the belly
Of the morning
Yes... Go and Go
Standing by always...
In the valley
Separating chaff and wheat....
