As I am...

i am the breeze turned to wind
that whispers in your ear
thoughts you may not want to hear...

i am the wind howling,
warning you of the dangers i see,
knowing they don't just apply to me

i am a tornado,
twisting this way and that,
taking anyone not secure in themselves,
not pure in intentions
and giving them reason to think

i am a figment of your imagination
a creation of your mind,
adding another piece to your puzzle
as you add to mine...

i am all of this and nothing...
i am alive so i feel all things...
i am a man and i am a child...
i am civilized and yet so wild...
i am naive and i am jaded
but my soul is vibrant and alive
my inner colors have not faded
wondering if the time has come
for the things that i have waited upon...
