Who I Am

A short poem of metaphorical phrases.

I am peaceful water, which varies to a pale, wild as well as frustrated wind, yet I also vary to a warm and thoughtful fire.

I am an animal whelp that learns its way of survival in its world.

I am sometimes a tree, standing alone in an empty, melancholic, gloomy, broad and frightening wilderness; a tree that is directed by the chilling as well as shivering wind.

I am a man that sits in a cave and stares at a peculiar shade on the back wall of the cave, asking myself what this shade is, how it came to be, and if I live simply to stare at this shade.

I am a simple worm, who, for the first time in its life, puts his head above the ground he lives in, and sees a wonderful as well as delightful world.
