    I am..   (poem)
    ======


   My mind is like the wind,
   Blowing and swirling in all directions.
   It rustles the trees of my thoughts,
   It dances among the clouds of my dreams,
   It sneaks through every weathered crack;
   And finds curiosity lingering there.

   My heart is like the waves,
   Lapping on shores near and far.
   It sinks to the greatest depths,
   It speaks in rolling rumbles,
   It drifts and swirls around jagged rocks;
   And finds hopefulness flowing there.

   My body is like the earth,
   Rolling softly as hill and field.
   Covering hidden depths with velvet grasses,
   It rises loftily from the smallest stone,
   It calmy endures each fading season;
   And finds appreciation growing there.

   My soul is like the clouds, 
   Drifting restlessly accross changing skys.
   It tempts sunlight through fragile fingers,
   It casts rain to cleans with delicate tears,
   It climbs to vast heavens beyond tiptoed reach;
   And finds peacefulness waiting there.
