Like water
A weeping willow swaying in the wind
The reeds waving to the cosmos
I am a fable breaking the fourth wall
Look through my window
and sing it with me
You are telling lies so I can promise you nothing and
You are slithering through the cracks in my mind and
Now I am flying
through the cracks
of your words
See me moving
to the rhythm of my heart
I am dancing
to the pulsations
of the distant stars
Flowing up and out
like the nectar from a honeysuckle
Honey and milk pouring from my throat
Sip the dew from the Broadleaf sage
and breathe in its hearty breath
There are diamonds
glistening from the pine trees
and quartz crystals
dripping from the sky and
These pine cones
are red roses
These nettles
they are black feathers
fanning white clouds
and this lake here is your soul
with your eyes in its reflection
and the ripples on its surface
undulate in loving breath
with the universe

Like water
A weeping willow swaying in the wind
The reeds waving to the cosmos
I am a fable breaking the fourth wall
Look through my window
and sing it with me
You are telling lies so I can promise you nothing and
You are slithering through the cracks in my mind and
Now I am flying
through the cracks
of your words
See me moving
to the rhythm of my heart
I am dancing
to the pulsations
of the distant stars
Flowing up and out
like the nectar from a honeysuckle
Honey and milk pouring from my throat
Sip the dew from the Broadleaf sage
and breathe in its hearty breath
There are diamonds
glistening from the pine trees
and quartz crystals
dripping from the sky and
These pine cones
are red roses
These nettles
they are black feathers
fanning white clouds
and this lake here is your soul
with your eyes in its reflection
and the ripples on its surface
undulate in loving breath
with the universe
