I fall and I follow
down the rainbow's stream
praying for an answer
to everloving nature
and as I slide
the ground comes closer
and swiftly
it's closer
and closer
and closer
and closer
Screaming, I
transcend the crumbling soil
and fall right through
into an aerial aquarium
where tidal waves are weather fronts
and fish are foaming clouds
and with hues of love so radiant
my scream evolves to song
and my song carries me joyfully
like I have just grown angel wings
I soar through beds of Giants
the Titans of my perfect sky
I pet their manes and nestle
between their curled tails
They are dragons
of the approaching night
visible now, because I summon
sunlight through the rainy clouds
They are my animals
my friends
and my lovers
and I am made of these colors.
