dark wings

I’m going down
Down into soil 
I’m going down 
Dark wings will guide me 
I know the way 
For I have been there 
So many times I cannot count them

And though I know 
I will return when 
When the deed is done 
When the seed is growing 
My heart is scared 
My limbs are shaking 
It seems too cruel to have to do this

Over and over 
Over and over 
Why can’t I find 
Some secret passage 
That takes me there 
Without the pain 
My midnight wings beating in beauty

My conscious mind 
My core of wisdom 
Honours the dark essential journey 
But when I’m crying 
But when I’m crying 
It seems so hard 
Hard to remember 
I’m going down 
Down into soil 
I’m going down 
Dark wings will guide me
