Grounding

=======================

I need to feel the ground.
To see the walls I've built,
while silent halls resound,
fall finally to silt

I've buried things I know
I need to feel. The ground
has held them fast below,
it's time at last they're found

When reason comes unbound
and grief heels at my feet,
I need to feel the ground
beneath me is concrete

To find that golden land
where mind and soul are sound
and none but hero's stand,
I need to feel the ground
