Full Moon Me

A Human Being

I am a clock,
slowly ticking away time.
I am a tidal wave crashing down,
causing destruction, creating chaos.
I am the fear of failure,
invariably present in the human mind.
I am the flower arrangement placed by your casket,
a decoration, a condolence.
I am the single ray of sunshine,
beaming into a dark musty room.
I am the feeling of solace and comfort
when most needed.
I am the sound of pouring rain,
spattering against concrete.
I am a rock,
steadfast and dependable.
I am a beating heart,
slow and strong.
I am me.
