Tall Pines-Monica Marie LaBonte

I was born in the west at cold winter’s breast
with no fire, no hearth, no home
many years passed by
I’m still cracked and dry
I am skin and dust and bones

Dark November snow with dense and heavy cold
my heart beats twenty-four
May she calls to me, like a bell she rings
saying, come to lands of green

What does it mean that I’m called…..

To the tall pines, where the river winds
The wind and wandering clouds
Where the heat waves in rolling phases
Down in the South
Oh down in the south

Light as a summer rain, big as a hurricane
with no ground to stand upon
I am pulled right in, absolved by the wind
cured with prayer and song

Mama take my hand, release from the land
where all my shadows dwell
Anoint me sacred now, kiss me on the mouth
feel my heart swell

What does it mean that I’m called……

To the tall pines where the river winds
The wind and wandering clouds
Where the heat waves in rolling phases
Down in the South
oh down in south

On my own I fall
Won’t you carry me out
In my heart, I call to
Mama South
Mama South
Mama South

I was born in the west at cold winter’s breast
I was skin and dust and bones
