I Emerge Unlearned

I am broken, and I'm Without energy. I need Something different To go to... Water falls from heaven And the Earth is dampened. I'm standing there with a blank stare... And I...run, I run And I...stumble, oh And I...fall, I fall And I crawl... I am muddy, and it Doesn't bother me. And I Find a body Of water up ahead. As I near the water, I can Feel the power, and I Cry out, "Mother, Can you help me?" Then my body gives way; I am submerged. With eyes wide open, I care not that I am of Earth. And I drown and I breathe.. in and out. Without pain, I surrender; I am sustained. And the trees reach to the water to lend me their fragrant flowers and oils. And the fires down below reach up to boil. When I reach the bottom, the roots Take hold of me, and the Soil surrounds me And buries me.. There in my tomb, in my Earthly cocoon, there I Incubate; I am re-made. And the water is no more; it is absorbed. When the fire recedes, air hardens the soil. Time to wake The Earth quakes I emerge... Unlearned.
