Earth To Earth

With earnest passion raindrops pummel earth and seep within her soul I wonder if I cried for her if I could creep within her soul? With sunlit breath the earth is burned and fire leaps beyond control, I wonder if my breath on her could light love deep within her soul? The gentle moon caressed her face to sweep from pole to distant pole I wonder if I touched her so, if I could sleep within her soul? The dewdrop tears of earth await the dawn to peep and to console I wonder if I bowed my head if I could weep within her soul? The seeds I’ve never tried to nourish can’t be reaped for they’re not whole; without that tenderness I’m but a hurting heap within her soul. My heartbeat leads me like a sheep unto a sacrificial knoll, it’s where she shears the wool of love that I made cheap within her soul. Oh, storms have stole all hope that I could steep myself in pitch and coal. The ‘jinni’ spells grow weaker while love falls asleep within her soul.
