Eternally Bird: Clear Wound

When you cry until you sleep
Pray your soul a god to keep
When you sleep until you wake
Pray your heart don't try to break
When in stillness you recede
Pray your outline doesn't bleed
When to sun you do return
Pray your leftovers don't burn

Love me all and into you
Let me do what you don't do
Let me take a better care
Than your past had been aware
Love me blessed as I do you
As a Jesus wishes he could do
Love me still and unto me
As a blessing wants to be

Here's a grip on who I am
(I'm here to see, I'm here to be)
Modeled after little lamb
(Boppin' out of the ribcage, of inner me)
Here's a grip on my appeal
(I'm here to stay, I'm here to be)
Where you're wounded I will heal
(Whatever you're needing, to get of me)
Bring to thee a bucket full
Of a tidal press and pull
Bring to thee a hand of sand
When you fall, it's there you'll land

Pride I feel but love I am
Feel the tightness of my gam
Love I am and you you are
Feel the crusting of my scar
Bring to bake the bread of us
Bound of crust but born of trust
Love me still as I do you
Know your truth and love me through

And in fact I never knew
That your sis was Mary Lou
Yes in fact I never thought
That your mom was Abby Sue
And in fact I never thought
That your aunt was Alice Mott
Yes in fact I never put two and two together
That your grandmother was Agatha Merriweather

Still I know that souls are orbs
Like a circle made of lord
Circle round and sphere of self
Goats of myrrh and rainy bells
Blood of silt and smack of sea
Like a lip smooched unto me
Love me still as I do you
Love my prayers and body too

When you tumble t'ward your home
Please don't fall that hole alone
When you fall toward your home
Please don't go unknown alone
