I am the soothing sun casting its rays on rose flowers
I am the tidal wave swirling violently across the vast ocean
I am the unbounded hawk gliding through the mid air
I am the sky stalker, masquerading as the moon and stars
I am the earthy smell of petrichor after the first rain
I am the surreptitious healer in the guise of renowned physicians
I am the pulsating rhythm of a million chirping crickets
I am the magical stimulant in your raging hormones
I am the Arcadian dove and the menacing Kraken
I am the TIME healing the wounds of the poor and downtrodden
I am your unsteady gait and the chief propeller of your awkward feet
I am the the silent flute, the melodious harp and the harmonious harmonica
I am the pattering rain blasting gently against your windowpane
I am your thudding heartbeat and the lifeblood running in your veins
I am the conspicuous mystery rocking your flora and fauna
I am the ancient prophet hidden between the bosom of lowly men
I am the electrifying muse stirring spontaneous feelings
I am the unbudging rock, unbothered by the trifling insults of spineless men
I am an elusive conundrum to the star gazers and crystal ball geeks
I am the spawn of my atomic self, indestructible ad infinitum
