introduction

oh, my soul is an owl's soft wings
and my heart is a blue jay's feather.
my heart is a thing that dances.
my soul is a walk in foggy weather.

my life is a firefly's flight by night
and my death, an ocean of endless waves.
my death is a book i haven't read;
my life, the music of wind in deep caves.

my mind is a fire brightly burning
and my will is an oak tree's branches.
my will is a river that carves its own way;
my mind is a gambler who takes no chances.

my freedom is a red fox running;
my love is violets in dark corners growing.
my love is a wild hawk hovering high;
my freedom, a secret you'll not be knowing.

oh, my soul is a gypsy's dance
and my heart is a crow's ragged call.
my heart is a tangled forest.
my soul is an old stone wall.
