Mother to Daughter
I made a bargain with the Universe
In your cry the contract was signed
You are not mine
You are not yours either
The Universe is your keeper
I only borrowed you
Through a deal brokered out of view
You who is made of folk tunes
A carousel of dawns, newborn fawns
And roaring lions' yawns
You are agony
A child of the unknown
The daughter of ecstasy
A tomb of my womb
And it frightens me
It does not lighten me
For you are nothing
And everything
A tiny infinity
Which entices me
Though you suckle at my breast
Carry the blood of my ancestors
The earth where they rest you hold
Under your tiny fingernails
You are not mine
To love you is to endure defeat
Become completely incomplete
I humbly offer my broken body
To your tiny feet
I surrender all of me
You were never mine to choose
You have nothing to prove
You are only yours to lose
You are agony
A child of the unknown
The daughter of ecstasy
A tomb of my womb
And it frightens me
It does not lighten me
For you are nothing
And everything
A tiny infinity
Which entices me
In your cry the contract was signed
You are not mine
You are not yours either
The Universe is your keeper
I only borrowed you
Through a deal brokered out of view
You who is made of folk tunes
A carousel of dawns, newborn fawns
And roaring lions' yawns
You are agony
A child of the unknown
The daughter of ecstasy
A tomb of my womb
And it frightens me
It does not lighten me
For you are nothing
And everything
A tiny infinity
Which entices me
Though you suckle at my breast
Carry the blood of my ancestors
The earth where they rest you hold
Under your tiny fingernails
You are not mine
To love you is to endure defeat
Become completely incomplete
I humbly offer my broken body
To your tiny feet
I surrender all of me
You were never mine to choose
You have nothing to prove
You are only yours to lose
You are agony
A child of the unknown
The daughter of ecstasy
A tomb of my womb
And it frightens me
It does not lighten me
For you are nothing
And everything
A tiny infinity
Which entices me
