the comet

the others see you as a flower
you know i see you for your stem
that rises up above the others
so you can colour the world for them
the others see you for your smoothness
you know i see you for your shells
when i listen to you i can hear oceans
wild calling dolphins above rusting bells
the others see you with stars in their eyes
and they want you to be their lights
but i've always known you as a comet
it's direction a mystery into the night
the others see you as a lover girl
in a letter to which themselves they send
i’ve aways known you as freedom’s voice
i’ll always know you as a woman, my friend
