I will dig myself a dream
Something I can only see
Down deep in the Earth

I will grasp its rough edges
Smooth its grittiness
With my bare hands

I will read it and learn from it
Grab and pull out
The potential

Or else I will
Step down and lie with it
And let it consume me

Filling my cup
I take a long sip
And see what I have planned for me

Embraced loved cherished
It needs me to stay alive
As I need it to truly live
