I am the soil, I lie to your feet. I catch every fall of yours, support every step you make. I let you walk all over me. remember I am in you and you‘ll be me. I swallowed the old members of your family. and every time you eat you‘ll eat a fruit of me til one day you‘ll return into this unity. I am the beginning, I held you in my embrace. your eyes are now open, see: I will be your way home, with both feet still on the ground again I‘m your family
However far you seem to get from me, I still will be the center of your gravity. the ball of fire I host inside of me gives light to those who don‘t forget they‘re part of me. grow stronger, grow lighter, lie down on the earth to sleep, your mother, your family
A fistful of dirt - you can throw it in their face, or water it and plant a seed and wait and be amazed. a wistful word, whispered gently in her ear to sprout and grow and bloom in her and never be erased. I am the soil, I lie to your feet. I catch every fall of yours, support every step you make. I let you walk all over me
