"Twas A few minutes before
Midnight
I entered an elevator
Pressed lobby
The doors closed
And reopened
We have not moved an inch.
~~~~*~~~~
A gentle soothing breeze
Entered the elevator
I possessed no fear
The atmosphere, was clear.
~~~~*~~~~
I walked through the lobby
I saw movements and things
Others wished they never seen
Some call me "A seer."
~~~~*~~~~
I heard sounds before
While moving from my old house
Where I was sure
I've seen and heard
Strange noises
While packing to move
Some call me "Gifted"
Yet I wish this Gift
Upon no one.
~~~~*~~~~
I've entered dreams
Where I dreamed, of dreams
Others would wake
Screaming
Some call me "A Dream Weaver"
~~~~*~~~~
On a clear beautiful day
I felt strange
I flopped my arms like wings
Into the wind, I flew
Like a royal falcon
Flying into the sun
~~~~*~~~~
I rode thermals
High into the clear blue sky
I saw visions
Never seen by human eyes
Some call me"The Phoenix."
~~~~*~~~~
On a hot muggy day
I stripped myself of my clothing
Walked into, the aqua clear waters
Of a sea
To cool my flesh
And cleanse my soul.
~~~~*~~~~
I was swallowed
By a whirlpool
Where all the creatures
Of the sea
Gathered to pay homaged
To me.
~~~~*~~~~
None threaten me
From the smallest creature
Of the sea
To the largest leviathan
Some call me "the son of,
If not Poseidon himself.
~~~~*~~~~
I saw a child crying
Tears of pain streaked
His innocent face
Showed me a wound
Upon his knee.
~~~~*~~~~
Stared into my eyes
His pain disappeared
The blood he bled
He saw no more
He smiled
As he happily ran home
Some call me "The Healer"
~~~~*~~~~
Who Am I, What Am I?
Why am I here?
In the now, the present
Where Am I heading to?
Where did I originate from.
