hear you my name
then you see me
See you name me
you don’t see me

In tree dancing
stick be holding
calling you out
setting you free

rising slowly
dropping quickly
cry your laughter
laughing your pain

Shun me, love you
Catch me, empty
Hold me, away
Follow me, not

Hopeless, answer
danger, safety
empty, blessing
nothing, reward

Turn-in side-out
poor you be rich
poor to riches
richly poor be

come on back child
New Tale to tell
laugh-up sitting
crying out loud

drum you with me
dance you with me
sing you with me
one beat we be
