Like the aeons ancient celestial-battle scarred crust of this very Earth
|
||
|
||
You are strong, like the barked fortress of a enduring old-oak
|
||
|
||
*And yet…*

|
||
Like the lightest breeze playing across a dew-kissed meadow
|
||
|
||
You are gentle, like the drifting of a ruby sunset below the flung horizon
|
||
|
||
*And yet…*
|

|

|
||
Like the lashing touch of a storm battering all within its flailing grasp
|
||
|
||
You are powerful, like the earth-blood filled bubbling core of a volcano
|
||
|
||
*And yet…*

|
||
|
||
Like the maelstrom of imagination that fills every wondering head
|
||
|
||
You are dependable, the turn of the seasons, the annual gilding and falling of swarms of leaves
|
||
|
||
*And so…*

You are…*alive*. You are *…human*. Fire-striking, tsunami-powerful. Earth-strong, breeze-gentle. You are stardust driven fierce by a mighty mind. Stand proud and know this. **You are enough.**
