My Nature

My poem is the sun radiating its heat across the land
A raging tornado full of debris is my imagination
My mind is as vast and as full as the ocean
The mountain is unwavering and enduring such as my spirit
My memory is an intricate web catching many thoughts
Black as a panther's coat, my eyes analyzing every detail

My poem is a rainstorm pouring life into the land
I am the timid deer, loping gracefully and unseen
Soaring proudly above all is the brave eagle that I am
I am the thoughtful chimp, learning to adapt
Mismatched and misplaced, I am the queer platypus
I am the tiniest mouse, determined yet easily defeated

My poem is a speeding river carving the mountain
You are the avalanche and I am the lone tree
Quivering but still upright
