She prefers the company of wolves and crows
She knows the world nose to nose
She is feral, fierce and unafraid of lightening
She wears a different disguise at every sighting
She can taste you at some distance on the breeze
And with one look release you from your dis-ease
She will shout at you to get you to breathe
For your own sake learn to breathe!

She does not need you x3

She can paint you into or out of your existence
What you call intelligence is merely resistance
She demands that you abandon your defenses
See the world through a brand new pair of lenses
She is warrior, healer, mystic, daughter, mother, lover, sister
She is the magical entrance to this world where we are visitors
She'll break your heart open and you will howl with joy and wonder
She will then offer your spirit up to the thunder%u2026

She does not need you x3

She would prefer it if you turned off all the lights
Make friends with your shadow in the gathering of twilight
Remove your shoes for the ground you walk on is holy
The ground is as Holy as it is muddy
She is not interested in your opinion
She will never submit to your dominion
But she does invite you to dance until you drop
The old routines that caused you to stop%u2026

She does not need you x3:

We are running out of time
Move your body, change your mind
Plug yourself into the divine
And maybe she will give you a sign
Surrender to the force of her persuasion
Her wildness has a certain contagion
She dares you to cross the vital threshold
Do it now before you are too old

She does not need you x3
