Energy within,
I call you forth
bursting within and without
bubbling up beneath old stones and
moving mountains for me
as you did once
long ago.
Before the heart made to beat with you
beat to its own rhythm
before the wellspring, your source
dried up
before all of this and more
came to pass
you were there for me
in ways I couldn’t fathom
understand
or copy, now, alone.
I drew from you once
both for myself and others
I took the energy you gave
thinking it free.
Now you are dry
drained and lifeless
but tearfully
desperately
I draw you up
myself.
Return this energy!
Take back what you gave me,
and spring up once more!
I’ll draw you up again
with my own hands
my own work
I’ll bring you back home
to my heart.
Move this mountain,
wet this desert
overflow onto plains long parched
wellspring within
energy deep inside me
one last time I call to you
begging you
not to leave.
One last time,
I bare my heart to you
hold your hand for you
to guide you back home to me.
