Michael Foster - Sweet Earth

Burrowed within the ground where demons creep
And soaring above earth in the azure sky
Gliding though the oceans blue and deep
This is where I lie

Not on some planet, red and bleak
Nor in some world with strange creatures
For strange things twisted nor evil things I seek
I do not search to preach, to sing, or to be a teacher

I lay here on our dear earth
And listen to the sounds of strife and love
I stay here, by my warm safe hearth
With creatures beneath, next to me and above

Michael Foster
