"I've been both the flowing water
and the stone that blocks its way
I've been frozen, I've been molten,
And I'll be again someday
Though I've been a billion things,
this is the first one that can smile
I'm pieces of the universe
Living as human for a while."

"I read them all one day
when loneliness came,
and you were away.
Oh they told me nothing new
But I love to read
the words you used."
