Today I feel that fear again
Afraid of getting lost
Scared that something wants me deeply hurt
That is what I fear the most
Still my unprotected body bleeds
From previous gaping wounds
With no cloths to cover me
I feel cold here on the ground
Imagine safety in my arms
My body shapes a ball
On my back I dream tranquility
And search for inner calm
My arms wide open touch the sand
Mother Earth is holding me
I surrender vulnerable to her
Like a fallen spineless cactus tree
Defenseless to that feared attack
Sharp sounds urging me to flee
But Mother Earth she pulls me back
Blows dust of trust in me
She tells me spineless cactus trees
In community stand strong
That in the rich soil of her equity
I can joyfully belong
