Amber 1986

They said I was dead

but I never died

I couldn’t have died

for I was inside

inside, I did hide

I wouldn’t have died

it has to be denied

and now I confide

how much, I loved that ride

she was, always my guide

in that air, rarefied

where our worlds did collide

but all that aside

it was my place to hide

and I have not lied

curled in the warm

outside such a storm

but not so in here

 my celestial sphere

I grew, so did she

I knew she was key

it wasn’t  my time

Earth wasn’t for me

this incarnation, we needed to be

alone with each other

no one else sees

they said I was dead

but I never died

my hair was so red

and I had to hide

to glide

far away

far away

where the moon

throws its shadow

and there I would stay

she was my goddess

and still I can see

how she has blossomed

I’m still part of her tree

we have that connection

still

we have that power

for we share the sap

that forever will shower

I am Amber of course

she gave me that name

like the tree sap she sprung

through the fire

just to claim

such love from my mother

which is why I  fly

and at night sometimes

join her where she does lie

they said I was dead

I, never died

 her womb was no tomb

and I can confide

only in you

when I say out aloud

I am the moon

and I am the cloud

I am the stars

I am the sky

I am not dead

I did not die
