I am a baby Dreaming of birds and thistle Flowers and stone And creatures of the earth I remember many years from now Yet still I sleep Cradled in mother's arms Why can I not wake? I am a woman Asleep by the river bed I speak to myself For so very long now I’m so very cold So very still Lungs rife with stagnant air Why can I not wake? Mother hold me Cradle me close to you And kiss me goodbye Lay my body to the ground That I may bloom To seed the soil I am a little girl again Running through poppy fields Dancing through misty meadows Chasing butterflies Chasing myself to sleep Remembering so many years ago Cradled in mother's arms And again, I sleep I am a baby Sleeping again In mother's womb Remembering all that was Fading now, I am awake
