Look beneath me, what do you see

A ripple far into the deep

And cast a light over me

To understand what I see

Listen to me, my life’s song

Many days you’d sing along

And watch me flutter away

And come back each following day

Love me with your counterpart

And understand my quick darts

Away from that which hurts me

And thrives which one deserves me

Long for me and want me now

Hold me close and lay me down

Caress me with your touch

and kiss the bud of love grown much

Open me to experience a new

Apart from the daily dread of you

And plunge into my folds

For a new world, you will behold

Move me with your wind

Swaying back and forth again

To pull me and draw me in

To your sweet melodies again and again
