Do not forget it I am the master of the universe. I claw out of the stars each day, no mystery hangs like a curtain before me – there are none. I hue the rocks of the moment, I make silent screams that part the waters of confusion before me. I hold myself as straight and tall as a pine tree, and see over every hill as if in flight, and what I see becomes the map for each sanguine moment and where some hear the loud cries of defeat, I hear the songs of animals and feel their freedom, =3>for as humans clamor for truth, animals sleep with one eye on the earth and one on the stars, and they breathe easily even as death may be near, and that is my hourly plan, my rolled out destiny, since I too am an animal and so are you…… do not forget it. | |
