What You Are



A Whirlwind sometimes you are
Uprooting long and deep beliefs
Otherwise breeze tender
Caressing to melt away

Gory fire sometimes you are
Burning and trampling that comes way
Otherwise a lamp serene
Lighting up thousand lives

Endless space sometimes you are
Leaving the learned mystical
Otherwise a dot
Humble even to humblest

A lashing flood sometimes you are
Destroying the gathered over time
Otherwise a river placid
Life giving divine

Crack open to swallow furious you are
When just gravel that remains
Otherwise mother earth
Including unlimited nurturing love

You are life
Aware and endless
You are death
Graceful and true

A question you are
Pushing to burst fore
The ultimate answer
For mysteries unresolved
