Explorer
You are my explorer
Equipped for all terrain
Rugged hands, gentle touch
The hottest breath
Like arid desert wind
Come
Claim your land
Explorer
Before you I lay
The journey you must take
So take me, explorer
Seek your treasure among my
Hollow caves
Sheer rock faces
Mountainous regions
Desert plains
Forests
Ravines
Rivers
Oh you skilled explorer
Blessed explorer
Gentle explorer
Wonderful, beautiful, amazing
Explorer
My explorer
Our love
The journey you must take
I lay before you
Wrapped in sheets of cotton
Vulnerable and yours
Exclusively yours
Waiting to be journeyed
Waiting to be claimed
Take me, explorer
Take me
