I am silvery and clear—have no cultural biases.       I quickly consume all that I analyze.       Without affiliations or antagonisms, I am.       I am neither harsh nor untrustworthy. On the opposite wall—I contemplate.       It has a blotchy pink hue—I've seen it for a while.       It's probably in my mind—yet it flutters.       The sights and darkness restrain us apart. A frog in a well—has never seen an ocean.       As you delve into the abyss,        Roots and buds grow deeper.       In the sky there—grows a tree called "Life." And the marvel isn't alone in the sky.        I hold it dear in my heart.        I maintain it close to my heart.        Accept a tally of—our affection for You. You have my undying—boundless love.         While unseen, my soul reaches you.         Smiles and despair have been my life!         With my grief and the faith of my youth.
