I am the girl

Through your mind

That lives in your heart

The ancient pain

That ran through your veins

The ancestor you just met

I search for your heart to realize what love is

I know the heart

Of what use to be

I am the arm at your need

I am the eye

That makes you see reality

My breath tingling your mind

My blodd flows with yours

Combines into a river

My spirit wanders your inner soul

A chance to sink in

Buzzing with memories

Singing a melody

I will always love you until we die

Like a story echoing through the minds

Of youth sitting under the trees

My mind flows like the breeze

Drifting softly rustling the leaves

Like dancers moving gracefully across the floor

My blood's wine runs smoothly

Gracing lips with its taste

Like a dream rapturing you slowly

With things you've never before seen

The universe a song never ending

For eager young ones happily singing

My heart is a cold dark past

It shatters mirrors to shards of sadness

My breath a whisper from the lips of a lover

Down the gentle ear of another

As the flat vibration comes from his voice

A minor phrase scatters

The harmony becomes fuzz

And the tone measure goes up

I feel my beat treble

As I wait for an answer

The rhythm is sharp

As the mode becomes major

I blow the pitch of his voice

Make his note scat

The conduct changes on a downbeat

counter point is resonant

And the mind is a rock

The bar scale goes weak

And modulates to melody meter. . . .

We find the key

Groove in chorus concert

The river flows like her shiny black hair

When the sun comes up and shines

Her hair reflecting in my eyes

Like smoke from pipes

It flows nowhere but everywhere

Like my mind flows

The river has no end to it

My blood flows like freeways

The cars are like my blood, always moving

My blood always rushing

Through my body

Like the universe

Flowing like the river the earth

Always traveling but getting to nowhere

My heart reflects my childhood

Like the river and universe
