My feet look like the earth
I am not sure how they shaped this way
They did not look like this
At birth
My legs look like the trees
I love how they support me
They are long and strong
They carry my weight
with ease
My hips look like a Volcano
Every now and then, I burst
I can’t explain that tendency
It is a kind of thirst
My eyes look like a lake
You can drown and see your mirror there
Discover where you are truthful
Discover where you are fake
My heart looks like the sky
It is blue and grey
It is vast and open
It’s the space in which
my love can fly
And if I ever cry
My eyes, the lake, will overflow
teardrops flow down my feet
They irrigate and nourish the earth
And that is how I will grow
