I WANT TO BE

I want to be the seed waiting silently in the soil. I want to be the twig, the bud, and the bloom. I want to be the frost that ends the seasons and I want to be the hope and the fire that never dies……. I want to be the hammer, the nail, and the dream. I want to be the vanquished and the hero. I want to be the king, the dictator, and the fool. I want to be the corrosion that levels empires; I want to be every footprint through this inscrutable, miraculous world. I want to be, I want to be, I want to be; I want to be eternal.
