The Voice of the Earth

In cool darkness under the earth
The Lady whispers
Her voice speaks of peace.

The ancestors know what is in your heart.
Do not be afraid,
My velvet blackness will keep you safe.
Let your memory bring you back
Let the world grow distant for a while.
I have never gone away,
Only hidden from sight.
Open your heart and I will give you joy.

In this sacred place
You will see my shape
And feel my presence close
Reach out and you will touch me,
My essence will flow once more in your blood.
Know that you are part of me,
That I am part of you.

In this sacred place
I will reveal my face

The wheel of life is ever-turning
With no beginning, without end.
Here, within the earth I shall give you a new life.
I shall transform you.
Things will never be the same again,
But I will never leave you.

Feel my fingers touch you
Feel my breath upon you
And know that you are once more alive.
