Dirt is the Color

(Kristina Stykos)
My songs often catch threads of feelings I'm having in relation to someone in my life, and ride them to a deeper place of dream or unconscious memory. Sometimes the books I'm reading give me clues. I think we've all lived many lives.
dirt is the color
that I can feel
when I dig down to meet you
it’s not good fortune
it’s something real
a solid ground agreed to

take me home, my love
take me home
while we still remember
how to go
rise with me at dawn
in the sparkling snow
before the centuries unfold

I saw you broken
in a driving rain
I was forbidden to help you
your land was wasted
your fight in vain
I would return to find you

take me home…

tough like a callus
strong like a weed
Your life is hidden inside you
My face is buried
against the wind we ride
One horse and
nothing to live on

take me home…
