Black holes as dark as a blackened night,
My eyes are stars,
My feet touch the moon,
I dream of rainbows in the darkness,
And my secret is an unknown world.

My head is a planet,
My hair is the suns rays,
And my heart is the sun itself,
My fingers are like rain drops,
My voice is like thunder.

My song is the wind,
As mysterious as whale song,
My voice is like a violin,
Playing and soaring, weeping and lamenting,
Dancing and laughing, in an orchestra of breath.

My voice roars like an earthquake,
And yet is as silent as an ant,
As my cats paws,
And my memories are my secret,
That I hold.
