One Thorn

Call me the Dust
Fleeting forever
Whispered away
Ever and ever

Call me the Stone
A tortoise in grey
Eternally stoic
In tormenting rain

Call me the Tree
The tower of life
Our Mother's great guard
When calamity strikes

Call me the Rain
Cleanser of earth
To bring all in one common
Reliever of thirst

Call me the Womb
Where destiny awaits
The forbidding new world
Foretells a grim fate

Call me the Sun
Leaving nowhere to hide
The shadows will run
And demons will cry

Call me the Moon
And welcome the owl
A nocturnal chorus
And a lone wolf's howl

Call me the Sky
Infinity in sight
Lost in the past
By new human light

Call me the Bird
Aloft, flying free
Evolution's chosen one
The world belongs to me

Call me Man
The traiterous tyrant kin
Nature's great mistake
Bringer of the end

Crush me Mother. Crush us all.
