The Mother and the Sun

Some see the night and lay to rest
As though the window to life is shut
Lock and Key
Time and Place

It is the Earth's Shadow
And I for one feel safe
Behind of the shield of my Mother
My home

For what threat does the Universe hold
For her children
Than the near and looming flame

So many babes
Each scared and alone
And though they hate her
And though they kill her
She kills them back
And loves them

It is family
Where we fight the hardest
And Love the most

So I will feel safe in my Mother's shadow
And though my feet trace her wrinkles
And the smoke from my heart rises
I will embrace this night
And the next

For the darkness is my shield
