for Mom

I’m curling back down under water again
Back before breathing, back to the womb
Your red velvet cushion, my liquid cocoon
Attached to the cord connected to you

I’m diving head first this time
I’ll go all the way
I’m coming out whole
Reborn

Your sonic vibrations are my universe
Your fluttering joy, your muffled hurt
I’m absorbing your essence, your best and your worst
I am your hunger, your thirst

I’m diving head first this time
I’ll go all the way
I’m coming out whole
Reborn

I’ve been turning over and over and over and over
Finding my way through
Searching for home, searching for you
I’ve been turning over and over and over and over
Finding my way through
Searching for home, searching for you

I followed my dream, now I’m poised on the edge
A waterfall below and I can’t see the end
All of my goodness and all of my strength
Comes from the place where my journey began

I’m diving head first this time
I’ll go all the way
I’m coming out whole
Reborn
