I am the beginning,
the quiet one,
the reader,
the nature-child

I am the middle,
the striver,
the journalist,
the professional

I am the end,
the mystic,
the poet,
the crone

I am here,
the desert,
the mountains,
the sky

I am there,
the boat,
the castle,
the cobbled lane

I am forever.
the meadow,
the forest,
the sea

I am.
