Let's pretend I am the sand on the beach,
and you are the sun and waves seeping into me,
I am the island,
and you're the sea surounding me,
I'll be the wind,
and pull your waves with a gentle breeze,
you'll roll onto shore,
and pull parts of me out to sea,
I am the wood of a willow tree,
and you are the Earth supporting me,
I am the leaves reaching from my branches,
and you are the air embracing me,
I'll breathe you in ,
and move with your breeze,
you'll seep into my roots,
and carry life through all of me,
I am the water flowing in a creek,
and you are the mud coloring me,
I am the current shaping the earth,
and you are the rocks anchoring me,
I'll clean you off,
and shape and polish you,
you'll swim with my motion,
and become a part of me too
