The Awakened Wake Within
Give me fire, give me earth
call the elements and name my birth
wrap me in air, annoint me with water
name me now, the element's daughter
Brush me with embers, brush me with dust
paint the sacred symbols on me with rust
wash me in winds, drown me in streams
awaken the elements sleeping in dreams
darkened hearths waver, earth rolls in a sigh
a spirit-born wanderer raises voice to the sky
Speaking, "Oh brothers!" to tornadoes and storm
breathing awareness to an unborn-soul form
Summoning firestorms, earthquakes roar
a rumbling awareness shaking the floor
birds stop in mid-flight, fish stop in mid-swim
What is this feeling, The Awakened wake within?
