I AM A RUNNING STREAM

I am a running stream,

A raging storm,

A gentle breeze,

In essence avalanche,

Motionless mountain,

Wolf among the trees,

Timid mouse in shadow,

Hunter and prey,

Part earth,

And wind,

And rain,

And sun,

And moon,

Eternally moving

Universe of myself,

Daring and sharing

Molecules and atoms

All into one,

Mingling,

Becoming,

Expanding into

Outer existences

About me,

Making them

Part of my all.
