Open, it cried, open,
Taste the salty air.
Open, it cried, open,
Hear the dark night howls.
Open, it cried, open
Drink in the sweet perfume.
Open, it cried, open
Embrace the burning fires.
Open, it cried, open
Touch the silken thread.
Open, it cried, open,
Watch the men dying in fight.
Open, it cried, open,
Notice a laughing child.
Open, it cried, open,
See the earth’s cracks.
Open, it cried, open,
Fall into a soft embrace.
Open, it cried, open,
Feel your beating heart.
Open, it cried, open,
Flow with the shifting winds.
Open, it cried, open,
Walk through the door that shut.
Open, it cried, open,
Once you fully open, you can never close.
Open, it cried, open,
Just one more time.
Open, it cried, open,
Until all that’s felt is nothing,
but everything.
Open, it cried, open.
