who am i, what am i ?

Who am I? What am I?

                                 Who am I? What am I?

                         That in which you cannot understand.

                                 For I am a spirit, a hymn,

                                A psalm, a dream, a hope

                                 An intention, a dimension.

                          I am time, space, air, I am a place.

          I am the white dove of peace, the green eyes of jealousy,

              The purple heart of bravery, the Red Cross of help.

                           I am salvation, desperation, anxiety.

            I am the heat from the fire, the smoke from the flame.

                             I am the reason, I am the blame.

                           Who am I? What am I? I do not know,

                   From day to day what I am will continue to grow.

             I am yesterday, today, and tomorrow, I am up and I am down

              I am the tears of sorrow, I am the smiles of happiness, I am

                             The fear of fright, and the laughter of joy.

                       Who am I? What am I? I do not know for today

                          I am rain and tomorrow I’ll be snow.

                      I am versatile, adjustable, I am flexible.

                  I change with the weather, the day and the time

                    I am for most, the wind in a spiritual way

                       I am for myself unique and divine…
