From Wake Up:


Gaia


Precious earth
with glacier eyes.


Deep within,
the power
of volcanic spirit.


Frozen feet,
touch your burning soil.


I lie down on my belly,
my cord attached to you will never break:
I lie here forever
feeling your moss,
the arms of a loving mother.
I hear your voice echo within lava,
crystal clear.


I search your heartbeat,
deep and hidden waters.
Your heartbeat,
earth quake.

Moving stagnant to magnetic.
