The Silk Worm I Stood Before A Silk Worm One Day. And That Night My Heart Said To Me, "i Can Do Things Like That, I Can Spin Skies, I Can Be Woven Into Love That Can Bring Warmth To People; I Can Be Soft Against A Crying Face, I Can Be Wings That Lift, And I Can Travel On My Thousand Feet Throughout The Earth, My Sacs Filled With The Sacred."
