cover me,
my prayer oh lord,
like the north star
hanging on the wall of my broken mind
cover me,
and protect me from my burden
dragged around (like) an old ox mule,
shoulders hunched
grunting in peril
chewing (on) the cud of cessation
and praying
cover me
like the wind covers the ocean sea
cover me
my lord
like the stars of the night
cover my eyes
cover my heart with your hands
hands divine
and kiss
kiss divine
lord (that) you will listen
my heart sings, pleads
I carry around my begging bowl
and eat without questioning
protect me
oh lord cover my entire being
with your divine feet
feet divine
and hand me my lord
soaked in my (un)cried tears
my bleating heart
singing,
my lord
let me not
fall.
