Dark Wings

I’m going down

Down into soil

I’m going down

Dark wings will guide me

I know the way for I have been there

So many times I cannot count them

And though I know I will return when

The deed is done

When the seed is growing

My heart is scared

My limbs are shaking

It seems too cruel to have to do this

Over and over

Over and over

Why can’t I find a secret passage

That takes me there without the pain?

My midnight wings beating in beauty

My conscious mind

My core of wisdom

Honours the dark essential journey

But when I’m crying

When I’m crying

It feels so hard, hard to remember

I’m going down

Down into soil

I’m going down

Dark wings will guide me
