I Am An Ocean
I am an ocean - swilling calmly; wrecking ships and shore.
I am a hurricane - outer parts and eye and more.
I am an avalanche - speak softly to me I'll be still;
but bellow loudly, stomp about on me I'll spill.
I am the weather - sunny, clear but fit to burst
when a thousand droplets are absorbed in thirst;
I filter out all dross downland, upland and over hills
this brooding cloud ignites, renews, distils.
I, just like nature, am pretty, calm and tame
but wild, powerful and ruthless just the same
and now I know there's beauty in this fact;
truth, wholeness and balance all intact.
