Mother Earth show my worth
Hold me in your embrace
And crush me under the weight
Of your love, my fate

I need to know if I lived in vain
For what else is there?
But to allow myself to die this way
And return forlorn to the air

Long have I lived like this
Eternal, the state I am in
My suffocation is my bliss
This knowledge is my sin

I need only to lie on your ground
And let you wrap me up
In wind with arms all around
Until I choose to give up

Oh Mother, please come and smother
Take me, your long lost lover
And crush me under the weight
Of love that feels like hate

A nice coupling to Mother's Day, a different take on Mom.
You described very well the feelings of being nurtured, C.Guy!
