lyrics

Layful into garden's wood,
i have created my own colors
by pruning thoughts and circling winds.
then my op'ning nest is borne
from the clay and mud beneath
there were roots what now lays stone
and my stone has cast away all insects
for the ants are paving my roads.

Subtle bridges made of grasses,
finer than the melting water
stretch my arms and legs much wider
than the ropes on which i swing.
Golden irises of fire
blinding binding billowing
comfort in my mother's kisses
finding who i come to be.


I built my towers out of roses,
holding flowers in my hands
but they have fallen by the hour
making towers turn to petals
and then petals twist in the wind
and the wind blows in a moment
faster than my falling towers
breaking my garden temple's bed.
