The world’s light shines, shine as it will,
The world will love its darkness still.
I doubt though when the world’s in hell,
It will not love its darkness half so well.

Moon marked and touched by sun
my magic is unwritten
but when the sea turns back
it will leave my shape behind.
I seek no favor
untouched by blood
unrelenting as the curse of love
permanent as my errors
or my pride
I do not mix
love with pity
nor hate with scorn
and if you would know me
where the restless oceans pound.

I do not dwell
within my birth nor my divinities
who am ageless and half-grown
and still seeking
my sisters
witches in Dahomey
wear me inside their coiled cloths
as our mother did
mourning.

I have been woman
for a long time
beware my smile
I am treacherous with old magic
and the noon's new fury
with all your wide futures
promised
I am
woman
and not white.

we float on top of the world
drawing through clouds
and walking on air
laughing at the things we draw
with the moisture from below
we are no Icarus
our wings do not burn down
we are like the bight sun
we never leave the sky
we always are on the bright side

Darling on the moon we can run
And babe we could walk on the sun
if you step along
and hold my hand
sing a song
and count the grains of sand, with me

And Darling we can have the sweetest strawberry treat
the ones we took from the clouds beneath our feet
which we happened to paint
in a wonderful dream
your lights not faint
its a big bright beam

Honey in the clouds we can hide
it doesn't have to be outside
but if you depart
i will stay
you say thats not smart
but i didn't waste my day, for you

And Honey we can drift and float
in outer space with out a boat
ill take you to see
the birth of a star
and you will be
amazed at how beautiful they are, just like you.

My sweet teenager,
life makes you grow up so fast.
There are so many things
that you have yet to learn.
Rest your head on your desk presently.
For right now,
the world rests on you.
