I see trees blowing in the breeze
I see mountains on hills
I hear waves crash and roar
I am here to see Earth doing its job
I am lying in the grass
I think I will do nothing for a long time
But listen to the breeze
Writing and art are in your writing hand
Earth and magic are in your heart and brain
Power is in your feet
I can be anything
I can fly like a magical pie
I can float like a boat
I can eat like a chimpanzee
I can sleep like a feather in the deep
I can say bye like a little fly
The spring looks up at the moon
I look back
The stars twinkle at me
I twinkle back
The moon waves at me
I wave back
I close my eyes and dream about them
