An Earth Song

It’s an earth song⁠—
And I’ve been waiting long for an earth song.
It’s a spring song⁠—
And I’ve been waiting long for a spring song.
Strong as the shoots of a new plant
Strong as the bursting of new buds
Strong as the coming of the first child from its mother’s womb.
It’s an earth song,
A body song,
A spring song⁠—
I have been waiting long for this spring song.
