I lived as a wave wandered afar,Pining the grains of sand lying ashore,Tumbling on my feet,Collapsing on each stride, Amassing again to pounce and roar,I lived as a wind,Soaring on a nameless path,Fetching a scent,Imbibing a stench, Drifting to sky yet closer to earth,I lived as a tree,Rooted to my belief,Facing the storms,Budding a twig,Perishing gently leaf by leaf I lived as fire, Born from stones and straw,Neither humble,Nor a saint,A slayer a survivor a force so raw,I live as a being,Blessed with thoughts,Some shrewd,Other noble,An amalgam of dream strengths and flaws
