There is a secret.

This rock is much more to me than he
                       Is to you.

Your brain will think and think and you will determine
                           And expect.

                And it will come.

Believe in this rock and he will grow your day.

Believe and he will carry the stress, remind
                      You to take your
                          Medicine.

Your brain will send a message and every being
In the universe will attach to you and give
              You what it is you want.

                   Believe in the Tiger’s Eye.

             And your nails will be polished.
                  Your hair will be clean.

And all though I am
Shaking, I can write.

And because I can write, I will tell you
            What it is that is real.

But because this isn’t real, I will say it is.
    Because all though I am shaking, I am
                            Writing,
                   And you are reading.

Because this rock I am wearing, this rock
       That was gauged from the eye of a tiger,
                         The jungle beast,

And all though I am
Shaking, I can write.

Because this rock helps me share this with you.
