About Me


i watch you go sailing by, oh my

from sky to sky

you are a ray of light in my eyes

and i'm ever running round the earth

to catch you

always

beast of man, look at me

eyes flaring, fearful and confused

beast of man, look around

draw thy power

and blindly steer thy vengeful fleets

through crazy black storms

that pound the land

feed on thy rage

oh beast of man

give in

give in

alas, art thou now naught

but voiceless in the wind?

what impotent forces heed thy hand's call

breaking free weak and fragile leaves

to spite their delicate beauty

oh,

beast of man, beast of man

sorry am i to see thee flail and fall

so simple and reduced

to die alone

forgotten, alas

but a fitting fate for you

i stand

feet firm to the earth as a tree

i feel the great energy

pass through me

i send down my roots

seating myself deep

into the grace and rage

of life around me

and in me

the life that begins

the life that ends

within me

without me

see me now

standing, breathing in the day

fruit and rose fires

glowing in my leaves

see me now

i am glowing
