Some poems - 6 - Sometimes

I remember writing this one as a personal challenge, after I read a poem from a college senior who had covered the life of a drop of water. While mine is a lot more depressing in hindsight, nevertheless, here it goes:

Sometimes,

I feel like I am the wind

untamed by anyone around me

unfazed by happenings around me

unnoticed by everyone around me.

Sometimes,

I feel like I am the rain

that washes away everything with my tears

that only a few clouds befriend

whose rage everyone fears.

Sometimes

I feel like I am the river

whose raging waters never cease

whose flood births tyrannies

whose soul rests in the seas.

Sometimes

I feel like I am the sea

with water so salty none can drink

only brine visible, no sign of brink

inside of which all things sink

Sometimes

I feel like I am the Earth

that carries all the weight of the world

that burns inside in its own hearth

and no one understands whose words

But then I was remembered.

Life isn't about the negatives alone

I may have my griefs, but some happy moments I do own.

So Yes.

I am the wind that sets everything in motion

I am the rain that brings joy and fresh notions

I am the river that helps life big and small

I am the sea which is deep

I am the earth that sustains one and all.
