A World
January 28, 2010
My body is a planet
Plain and simple, that's a fact
My feet form the mountains
While toes make up the peaks
My hands produce the plants
And fingers grow their roots
My chest becomes a rolling plane
Covered with streams of sweat
While the stomach is a barren desert
That gently rumbles and sighs
My legs are soft steel beams
Holding up a building so tall
Hair is like swaying reeds
Rippling in a silent breeze
My heart, at last, is the center core
That keeps this planet going...
