The rose, the cry the life!

Her name was Levi when she walked on the moon

picture by :Vladimir Kush

She smiled often carrying a red rose to her heart to cover the hole

To be seen perfect, she walked sideways to cover the fat
And hence she was beautiful in what was perceived

Between her fingers she kept a broken toe that helped her to fly when she needed to cry
Around her house she kept purple chicks to rememind her of the child within!

She kept her wedding dress hanging on a door to wear when she needed to dance
She smiled often and gave the rose away 

a rose to every kid who wasn't whole

to be present she cut her finger so she wouldn't sleep

And presence was the present she gave herself when she looked at the moon

The moon, Ah... where granny lived who loved her to the sky 

and went to the moon to remind the Gods of kindness and love
So Levi lived and loved and cried while smiling at the world
Gave the flowers away that covered the hole
Dreamed of the moon and went to the stars
To magnify the stars to brighten the night

But she lived down below, below the stars and loved and lived and cried while carrying the rose
The rose that covered the hole, the one she gave away to color the world
