Same World

I feel a thunderstorm warning in my
throat, and a flood watch in my eyes
Dandelions are growing in my chest, and in my hands I can see skies

I look around, I see a boy, is he like me?
Yes, there are gray storm clouds where his eyes should be
I look around, I see a girl, is she the same?
Yes, I see fire in her soul, impossible to tame

I feel a thunderstorm warning in my
throat, and a flood watch in my eyes
Dandelions are growing in my chest, and in my hands I can see skies

I look around, I find another to compare
Her eyelashes are strands of grass;
she leaves tracks behind her like a bear
From fingertips grow butterflies, from each toe sprouts a flower
Every chest holds a creature, though it might change every hour

Curly hair of bamboo plants, mysteries to be unfurled
You and me, we're intertwined, all part of the same world

I feel a thunderstorm warning in my
throat, and a flood watch in my eyes
Dandelions are growing in my chest, and in my hands I can see skies
