“Fear is my mother, reason my guide,
In danger I grow,
with strength by my side.
I rise not by shouting,
but through steady will,
Facing the storm,
I stand firm and still.
Who am I?”

“I grow when I’m shrinking,
My light’s most bright
when I’m sinking.
I’m nourished by my emptiness,
In a hollow space,
I find my bliss.
Who am I?”

“I defy darkness, and I define it.
I lead you to the infinite.
I guide you out
of what you think you are,
Cut through the veils,
I take you to the stars.
Who am I?”

“I am you,
but I don’t have your name.
I hold you,
though you think you hold me.
I wander,
yet I’m always home.
I’m only one, but not alone.
Who am I?”
