keeper to the doors
sister you move through me
define what I used to be
every year returning
filled with hunger
filled with yearning
puzzle upon your shell
history to sell
hollows in the sand
impressions upon the land
keeper to the doors
you have been here before
creature of the shore
keeper to the doors
you have been here before
i, too, can disappear
withdraw into my fear
retreat into my shell
paralyzed by each time
each time I fell
I just want to leave a bit behind
a piece of me to remind
the world when I have gone
scattered poems
perhaps a song
keeper to the doors
you have been here before
creature of the shore
keeper to the doors
you have been here before
nature spirit
teach me to find
that which was left behind
cycle of death and birth
how can we discover
the weight of our worth
keeper to the doors
you have been here before
creature of the shore
keeper to the doors
you have been here before
