Oh Beautiful Lady-Daughter of the Earth-

Oh beautiful lady-daughter of the earth-
help me in my solitary hour
with your warm love and  
sense of compassion.

A time dark as a river-
a wound confused and weeping
encompass's the root of my soul
biting the center of my life-

What a heavy throbbing beats in my heart
like a shadow made of all the shadow's-
my despairing head is raised
in an effort of death-

There is something trembling in my life
growing in the very origin of tears
like a harsh-spiked plant made of 
bitter root's devoid of all light.California Blue
