One

I feel not for the stars that shine dimly

But I feel for the deep blue water

that sings my song

And the earth that tolerates its battered life

and still holds me

And the fire that lights my night

And the air that gives me life

I'll meet their challenges and create my own

And when I am ready for the end

They'll take me in and surround me

And hide me

And make us one

(approx. 1980-81)
