And I am

I am not one, I am one of many
The flaring eyed gypsy you see whirl past
Who breathes out fire instead of words
The ingénue you see glide down
Who sears with innocence in her smile
The out of reach bird you see fly above
Who is yet tied to roots underneath the earth
The as old as time phoenix you see levitate high
who rises imperceptibly, soundlessly, always


I am not one, I am one of many
No you would not know me
No you cannot see me
No you cannot be me
For I am not one, I am one of many


I am not one, I am one of many
The broken doll you do not see fall by,
For she doesn't need to be fixed
The wizened soul you do not see sitting by,
For she doesn't need to speak
The dancer you do not see limp by
For she doesn't need unbroken heels
The hierophant you do not see walk by
For she doesn't need to be seen

I am not one, I am one of many
No you would not know me
No you cannot see me
No you cannot be me
For I am not one, I am one of many
