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 something other
And crush me under the weight
Of love that feels like hate

Now this is deep!!  You know what happens when Mother Earth wraps her arms around you, right? Do you really want or need this?  Great writing though.  ME

...and herein lies the discontent, that we are not the ones to choose, but follow that pre-ordained destiny that stretches to infinity so that when....when that day comes, and we be then that long lost something other....can we only give ourselves up to Mother Earth....

what a read....
