In your presence

I can feel the earth in your presence

Rocks and trees

Soiled planted seeds

I can feel my birth in your presence

April showers and may flowers

Autumn howlers, winter hours

I can feel your hurt in your presence

Ambition ammunition

Always on a mission

I can feel our worth in your presence

Triggered figured

Linger in one finger

I can feel the blur in your presence

Rooted feet

Ancestors meet

I can feel who we were in your presence

A colorful language

Tongue tied dangerous

I can feel God first in your presence
