• I am your worst nightmare and your best dream. I exist in the realm between reality and fantasy. You may see me but only with your eyes, when you do not look with your heart. I am of the wind, for none can know from where it comes or to which it goes. I am keeper of the eternal flame, and I guard its passing from one soul to another. If I get you I intend not to lose you. And if i lose you, I intend to find you. If you are not to be found, I will leave you. For the bitter-sweet taste of good-bye must not be forgotten. I come quick to anger, but also quick to apologies and forgiveness. I am the force that moves you, and the beckoning to be still. I am the screaming in rage, the weeping in sadness, the silence in rejection, and the understanding for a traveling heart. I can hold the keys to a past forgotten, or a future unknown. I will stay if you so wish, but leave when you ask. I am the voice that the deaf hear and the picture that the blind see. I amplify your failures and your successes, but still believe that you only fail if you don't try. I am strength for the week, and I know no boundary. Nothing can contain me or set me free. And all have known me, weather be the experience good or bad. To "If only... If only" I may reply "the bark on the tree is just like the sky". Great speakers will speak of me, and painters will try to embody me, but none can truly express or explain my ways. For my ways are of your own making, and therefore of your own interpretation. I make days seem brighter, and weight seem lighter. I am small in length, long in years, and great in power. My might has allowed for many discoveries. I am the for the creation of the independent nation, and the pride of their succors. Without me you would have never been born or wanted. Without me you will never know happiness. I am the drive of the creative, and the reward of the liberated. You know me well in your childhood, but stray from me as you age. I am often used loosely, but I signify real want for something that seems unattainable. I am infectious, only the complete pessimist is immune to me. I am often present at celebrations, and I always light up a room. I am never overrated, but often under-thought of. You pass me on to you children at a very young age, and retain me in your old age. I am the base of many life lessons, and drive you to change. I exist in wishes, dreams, legends, stories, and uncertainty. and when all is finally over I will still exist.
