Sweet, dark, naked earth
that the liquid light shines through and shines through,
on it's way to oblivion, on it's way to void,
down past the roots
where the wheel of life toys.

Try to be air, try to light
the sunlight that blinks, the beams that diffuse,
the perfect rings encircling your being;
time that sings in the moments you chose,
light that smiles on the naked truth.
