I am a dance between time,
 

blue skies, gentle breezes,
 

flowers, alive and dead,
 

a sleeping meadow of nectar,
 

I am happiness and sadness,
 

wind, storm, lightening and rainbows,
 

I am dark, lonely, and cheerful,
 

black, white, and purple,
 

a scent of earth,
 

crushed within the black sun, and the hollow moon,
 

I am unwanted and abused,
 

frightened and fearless,
 

musical and worn,
 

a firestorm of anguish, laughter, and desire,
 

a torn heart, smashed in my palm,
 

I am my mother's sorrow, my father's tears,
 

my sisters' hate, my brothers' love,
 

my child's heart, and my lover's soul,
 

I am pain beneath the clouds,
 

a bare tree, trying to reach heaven,
 

I am the mountian and the waterfall,
 

the river and the stream,
 

Alive!
Dancing!
 

in the garden of time!
