I’m comprised of the stuff
Of the moon and the stars
And the dust of the void
And the galaxies far

I’m a part of the oceans
And part of the grass
And the creatures long gone
From our planets dark past

I’m part snail and part dog
And part monkey and yak
I’m a river, a rock
I am white and I’m black

There are creatures alive in
In my blood I’ve been told
And I’m changing each day
Faster as I get old

I’m in awe of creation
For what it has done
I am nothing and everything
Rolled into one
