she sings deep within the soil
beyond the muck of passing leaves
and sludge of befallen flora crowns
deep within the soil she sings
her unrelenting melody of change
its movement courses through
the veins of the sky in early hours
breaking the gray stuffed ceiling
into countless crystalline droplets
deep within the soil her feet flicker
they are wicked flames in darkness
that reach beyond infinite walls
burning within heart, sap, and bark
her feet flicker deep within the soil
her green hands rise to heaven
praying to gods known before the stars
came to rest their dust upon the Earth
as promises are kept in prayers spoke
those cold elders of northern shadows
bitterly scream and dare to crush
her green hands rising to heaven
