For Gaia

Hold my heart
Let me bleed into your veins
Let my breath be your breath
Until your lungs breathe again

Let my tears quench your direful thirst
And quell the fires raging within
Use my skin to stitch your ragged wounds
Use my voice to sing

My bones will keep your spires strong 
Free to rise and rise and rise
My eyes will mark the beauty there
As joy draws ever nigh

As far beyond shadows of doubt 
We are one, we are each the other
Far beyond shallow and pale perceptions 
I am thee
We are Mother
