Compost The Old World

Balancing Energies

The Words · Lyrics

I greet the things that reached their time With steady hands and a gentle smile Every structure had a season Every rule carried a reason I thank the roads that brought me here Even the ones that disappeared Nothing broken, nothing bad Just finished stories changing hands Old systems soften into ground Future roots are gathering now I feel Gaia underfoot Laughing low like she always could I lay it down with gratitude Every lesson fully used What once rushed now learns to rest Pressure melts into composted gold Time releases what it held Wisdom breathes, the soil swells Saturn loosens rigid lines Venus hums through redesigned time Mercury turns waste to wit Humor heals the nervous system We dance endings into earth Every ending feeds rebirth This is sacred decomposition Transformation without collision I witness form dissolve to feed A richer, kinder ecology No erasure, no disgrace Only change in shape and pace Old governments bow to the ground Their minerals still circulate Laws become nutrients now Power composts into care What controlled returns as trust What exhausted learns to pause Mayan time spirals, tone by tone Nothing lost, only grown Lunar cycles guide the fall Waning weight makes room for all Hecate smiles at every gate All departures are first dates I hear the microbes sing below Tiny architects of tomorrow They turn endings into art Breakdown is a creative act The future thanks the present grace That made room for a healthier pace I compost the old world lovingly Layer by layer, patiently From this soil, wonder grows Strong, resilient, deeply rooted What emerges carries care Built from what we dared to spare
Stay in the wave
