Do you see me? Do you see me?
I am here now, can't you see?
I am flailing my legs at you!
Can't you see me? Look at me...
Oh! You've seen me, please, now help!
My life depends on you.
You are looking at me strangely,
And now you've gone from view.
As I watch, I know you're helpless;
There is naught you'll do for me.
Yes, I know now, you're a person,
And I'm nothing but a bee.
My strength is failing anyway.
I guess it's time to die.
Oh human, please remember me.
I'm leaving now, good-bye.

It was morning when it faded.
Death in ironic sunlight.
When the soul was lifted softly
And surrendered to the night.

Movements of trees
Flight
Unseen
Never dying
Never living
Hard
Heart
Never Feeling
Never seeing

Hear me.
Feel me
Twist me
Hurt me
Make me
Live.
Cast me
Outside
In heat
In cold
In sun
In rain
Make me
Yours.

Open me
Close me
See me
Feel me
Hate me
Hate me
Love
Me.

And I will never die.

You grasp for something just out of your reach.
It's there, and you can see it, but you're scared.
And it's that fear that's lengthening the distance;
You're lost, and want someone who really cares.

You need to reach, you need to strike the fear down
And be yourself; be who you really are.
Turn your back on darkness, laugh out loud.
Be full of life, and shining like a star.

We find ourselves between these stars
The distance separates our hearts
We bask in starlight, never knowing
We could be so much more than glowing
You are the diamond, you're the core
That my heart longs to adore
I want to take your soul in mine
And let our constellations line
Up with our hearts, our meek desires
Ignite and burst out into fire
If I had the strength to stand
Beyond the space and take your hand
The points of stars would spark and shine
And maybe I could call you mine
So many stars, but yours the one
That catches my heart in its sun
I want to be your shooting star
The supernova in your heart
We shine apart, maybe forever
But maybe we could shine together...

Today seemed like a day I should be silent.
The silence seemed so absolute, every small sound
reverberating intensely.
My annoying voice would shatter such a perfect peace.
Perhaps a song.
If a song were to break out over this lake,
causing ripples in its surface,
clear and bright, that might be acceptable.
The silence their audience,
a brilliant song.

I wish it so, but I know my voice has not that song,
and in thinking so I find I've lost it altogether.
So I sit back, a supportive member of the audience.

So step up; we're listening.
We silenced wait for your beautiful lucid song.
Someone to save us from the silence we trapped ourselves in,
afraid to break perfection.
Someone to tell us that imperfection is something that's okay.

Your song can rescue us.
Your voice can come and let us sing again.
Let your music ring across this silence.
We'll rise up, a chorus of flaws, and be beautiful.
Set us free.
Sing.

Foolish the one who sees the sea
And wants to jump into the sky
But maybe it's those who dare to fall
That aren't afraid to die

Standing on the shore, I'm staring
At reflections rippling by
And I think, if I just touch them
Maybe I could reach the sky

My fingers graze the surface
And my body follows through
Passing through a mirror of ocean
To a world of white and blue

And I grow wings like cloudscapes
Spreading fearless 'cross the skies
Drops of sunlight sparkle brilliantly
A sunset in my eyes

But suddenly my dream wings
Dissipate without a sound
As they disappear, I'm falling
Hurtling down to the ground

All the colors fade behind me
And I close my eyes in fear
All anxiety returned
That so recently disappeared

Growing closer to the earth
I brace myself for the impact
What a fool to be a dreamer!
Just to leave those wishes cracked

The wind stopped whirring suddenly
I opened up my eyes
I was standing on the shore again
And staring at the sky

Was I flying or just falling?
Was it daydream? Was it real?
I was left there with emotions
That I never thought I'd feel

I was the foolish dreamer
That hoped she could touch the sky
But although her wings were true
She was terrified to die

But a world like that exists there
And that I could not deny
It was a dream, but for a moment
I had learned to fly.

The rain was beating fierce outside her window
Her heart found shadows pleasing to the eye
She pressed her hands against the cold glass window
And gazed as storm clouds rolled across the sky

A thought, a hope, a wish welled up inside her
And she sought to become a part of storm
She opened up her window and climbed outside
And left the place where it was safe and warm

She stood and stared into the growing darkness
And mouthed a wish for solitude to end
She threw her arms up high and shouted louder
But her voice was caught up inside the wind

But she screamed as though her heart had been torn from her
And the lightning flashed, releasing all her pain
As thunder rolled her wish for peace was granted
She spread her wings and she became the rain.
