You are (not)

You are

A puppy with its tail burned

Whose claws reflects

The sun’s harsh glare.

You are not

A rock without a fissure

Who waits calmly

Until the rain has stopped

You are

More valuable than yellow metal

Lying under the bluish green

Imitation of the sky

You are not

As fierce as a grizzly bear

Awaken from his nap

in a treeless forest

You are

A dove’s delight as

The faintest murmur lifts

Him to the underside of the clouds

You are not

As lonely as a forgotten

Candle who unattended will

Burn its home down
