When I go
lay me down
against the earth
where my heart can beat
with the beat of the mother
who bore me from her branches
who shaped me from dirt and bones
who will shape the next from my own
take me home
seen from Egypt
seen from United States
seen from United States
seen from China
seen from United States
seen from United States
seen from Malaysia
seen from Brazil
seen from Australia
seen from United States
seen from Russia
seen from Russia
seen from United Kingdom
seen from Maldives
seen from United States
seen from United States
seen from United States
seen from Singapore
seen from United States
seen from Czechia
When I go
lay me down
against the earth
where my heart can beat
with the beat of the mother
who bore me from her branches
who shaped me from dirt and bones
who will shape the next from my own
take me home
“It is the only way to grow” by S.K. Williams
Love by Night
S.K. Williams
I don't understand
the heart beneath these wistful fingers -
How did it learn to beat again
when its heart drums were broken?
How did it learn to sing
when it never knew these words before?
How did it fall in love again
when it is still healing from the last time
it fell?
