Soul as deep as the Earth,
Dewdrop kisses on my closed eyes,
Tiger lilies eating my soul.
This ticket must be one way,
Up into the clouds,
My heart soars,
But these chains hold me.
Fire burning me inside,
Water beckons my hands.
The wind calling my name,
Must thou ride alone?
Into the deep abyss,
That I call my love's home.

The author's comments:
I wrote this piece with my younger sister. I'm not even exactly sure what you should get from this. It's all up to your interpretation, and unlike English class, there's really no "right answer." It's poetic expression. The image represents the total interpretation of the reader.
