The Sleeping Prophet - Oil of Sassafras

Alone in a crowded room
Trapped in her own body
A stoic and shrouded tomb

A rag doll, her only friend
Now all but forgotten
Just broadcloth and porcelain

----

She screams but isn’t heard
Betrayed by her body
A turbulent taciturn

A mother can’t change her vows
For daughters misbegotten
Another sad stranger now

----

Let’s see what we can do
Here we have the body
This is what you must do
Lest she be forgotten

----

The Spirit will soothe her soon
Awaken her body
A miracle through and through
