though I'm falling, I keep on dancing 
never touching the ground 
my voice keeps calling for this touch
and if you dare listen your heart will catch fire
I am an atom, I am constellation dust
I gaze through the looking glass
to feel time, again and again
my eyes shall become the planets
my feet shall glow in moonlight
storms that I have touched and embraced
a touch undone has flicked off the switch
that made this blind see through and through
I am touched by wonder when it is all dark
my heart is blue and hollow 
and I let the rose in my left hand die and wither
it all happened in the quiet
time is standing still, I want to be time
and I want to be a stone rolling down
crashing into sand shores 
for my love is a flower that blooms in fire
and these ashes make me feel alive
