Copulating

 On My Back

There is no doubt 
a heavy rainfall, merging with soil 
a communion of land and water 
creating a scent, filling my spirit 
awaking memories from a source unknown 

a sacred moment, a holy deed 
a cleansing of the land, rebirth of the earth 
a cleansing of the body, heartland of the soul 

the rebirth of the soul 
new life out of old 
new thoughts will emerge 
creating new deeds

The night stars above 
on a clear autumn eve 
overpowering my flesh 
while capturing my need 

a trip without moving 
as I wander beyond sight 
with thoughts that are restless 
I challenge the night 

my mind running rampant 
out of control 
the wonder is awesome 
the sights unknown 
 a journey begins 
capturing my soul 

I lie back and wonder 
I lie back and wonder, 
and wonder 
all through the night
