Endlessly | An Incantion for Witches

ENDLESSLY

Tell me the secrets of seeds becoming roots growing deep down, into the earth, twisting in the darkness, pale and tuberous, burrowing, always burrowing, endlessly burrowing. 

Tell me the secrets of the sky at night, its blackness forever unfolding, and the stars who's light has already extinguished, ancient fires, burning, still burning, endlessly burning. 

Tell me the secrets of the stones, silently witnessing, slowly moving, the sentinel bones of dried river beds, warm and smooth, watching, always watching, endlessly watching. 

Tell me the secrets of flowers, their soft petals, the seduction of scent, and the alchemy of color, so beautiful, too beautiful, endlessly beautiful.

Tell me the secrets of time, from the beginning, of blood flowing, the heart beating, breath breathing, in and out, and the dreaming of dreams, sleeping, mind still thinking, thinking thoughts, endlessly thinking. 

Tell me the secrets of everything, everything, everything, fill my heart with wisdom, quench my soul with knowing, I am always seeking, seeking, endlessly seeking.
