My soul is made of music
My soul is made of light
My soul is made of endlessness
Of little bits and bytes
My soul is made of nothingness
My soul has felt the bite
My soul is made of trust
And gas and dust
My soul is ripe
My soul is elastic crystalline
Caught in a limitless cascade
My soul is made of galaxies
Of Rhythms
And rAdIo wAvEs
My soul is built from feathers
That float in time together
A song that sings forever
Caressing the unknown
My soul is made of coils
Thrust from history unspoiled
Bones and skin with riddles for hair
Blooming from the soil
Of terror and despair
My soul is made of flowers
And pianos and of prisms
My soul may not exist
Without another soul to Listen
I am a musician.
My soul is made of sugar barrels
My soul is made of danger
Vast Lagoons and waiting rooms
Of Tattered tombs and strangers
My soul is made of the people who fought
My soul is made of the love I've been taught
Through centuries of murder and polka dots
My soul is the sum of the struggle
And When notes cannot even tear
The fabric of some vacant stare
My soul steals liquid from the air
Embroiled in the maze
Liquified and re-arranged
I am that which lives uncaged
Trickling rain that falls forever
Woven static
Deeply Crazed
At the mercy of the rhyme
My soul is nothing
but the formlessness of time
One day my body gone
Will vanish
and only song
will dangle in your ear
When a melody comes near
Miraculous and clear
To dance you toward the dawn
Where the music never ends
And what is
Is what we've become.
