your feet touch the wet earth
lastly night was a calamity

imagine the fiery and the real
by tanner brockwell

imagine the fiery and the real

then create what makes you true
create a home of lovely rue
create a message a message to

reflect the source of all you say
reflect as you will or as you may

absorb the flow of cascading mirth
then absorb the tone of ancient worth
absorb for this now before after dearth
absorb the soul absorb rebirth
