I'm
The water you drink
The air you breathe
The breeze
That caresses your skin
The dew
That wets and cools
Your body in the fields
Early in the morning;
I'm
The dawn
The early morning sun
That warms your heart
Setting the pace
For the tempo of your day
Giving you the verve
To pursue your dreams
Hidden deep in your heart
And soul seeking outward expression;
I'm
The night
The darkness
That grows your fears
Hemming you in
Like goats in a pen
Deep in your subconscious
Mocking you
Like a mocking bird
Hanging over your head
Like the halo on a saint
Asking you to learn
To number your days
As a mortal.
I Am
