The soft warmth of a blue summer sky
The brightness of an amber sunrise
The coolness of a turquoise sunset
I'm the roar and rumble of thunderheads
The crash of the turbulent tides
Miles of smiles and rivers of tears
Brave and stalwart; fearful and weak
With abundance of buffalo, I give and give
With foolishness of coyote, I play forever
I have hawk's eyesight and eagle's wisdom
Yet am trapped in mouse's limits
Peonies covered with ants, tall oaks
Dark, brooding forests
And the burble of a drifting stream
All this is who I am

Happiness and sadness; wicked and good
Sinful and saved and all in between
Quite and rambunctious; recluse and clown
I drink in life and spit at the day
There is not one but millions of me
Spread out and contained; opened and closed

Who am I?
Who are you?

Beneath the gender, beneath the nationality and race
Beneath the height, the weight, the eye and hair color
On the landscape of your soul
The canvas of your spirit
In the reality of your dreams

Who are you?
