My whole life I held
This promise
If I waited
I'd hear the sonnet
Of my longing
My chest would heave
My spine would soften
♪
I've been
Listening for a tide
To pull me out of the white
And into purple
Congregated, my family
Sings over me
♪
You will grow to see
Deep unto deep
The fire in the earth
Is spreading to the fields
I heard it from miles and miles away
It made me quake
With love and hate
For this deep
