Stumps

Great Spirit Hold me close

Do not let me go, as I am shaking in side.

My center is trembling and I feel as the earth has been reaped several times.
Rawness I feel.

Dear spirit, hold me close.

Hydrate my desert skin, Fill the wells of my soul.

Hold me close,

Hold me close,

You have released the unhealthy ties.
May their stems die,
And abide,
by the laws of undue pride.

Let natural order set in.

Weep through kneeded skin.

To hold grandmother sky close.
And whisper that I ,

I am alive.

Great Spirit hold me close.

Hold me close.

Earth, Sun, Moon, Ocean, Sky.

I do abide.
