Voices

I am the leaves that grew from the tree

I am the river that grew from the rain

I am the mountain that grew from the rock

I am the waves which grew from the sea

I am the sea that poured through your hands

I am the tree that grew in your bones

I am the rain that washed your heart

I am the rock that splintered your lands

I am the land that is covered with sea

I am the bones that are carved from rain

I am the heart that is chipped from rock

I am the hands that shatter the tree
