Words part II

the streams echo in my soul
the heart's of the trees toll
grapple as i may i find that the words have weighed me down
the water of this stream has held me before
stuck as it were in a moment of reflection
when we die what happens asks she
the ground rolls and we feel
the wind blows through her hair and i sigh
this moment will it never end ?
set me free from the earths maw
set us free from the words of sages and prophets
the question hangs in the air
the words echo through the valleys of my mind
she wonders at my silence
why
why don't they move ?
never, ever die
her strength is her belief, though tragic it is beautiful
i hope and pray that she will know the answers one day
know the answers, hear the words, so that she will be free
so unlike me
so like me
the words gutter through my viens
i seek and find
i lose and cry
she looks with wonder as i give her the words given to me
she accepts and holds on to the hope of life, to the stream of words
I cast her into the air and she floats free
i wish to hold her, wish to protect her
but the words flow and blow and she catches the current and soars
oh my girl, my blood
fly free on my words, on the words of the universe
fly free and taste
