To taste the bitter fruit of time

We are precious

And one day our suffering

Will turn into the wonders of the Earth

and how the seed you planted has been

The earth has disappeared beneath my feet,
Illusion fled from all my ecstasy.
Now like a radiant sky creature
God keeps opening.
God keeps opening
Inside of Me.
