Guess Who
I am so many things, some harsh, some sweet.
A mirage believing I'm what I'm not,
expecting an adulation, I deserve naught;
I am a breeze blowing from bloom to bloom,
caressing and breathing, refreshing in delight.
A storm that gathers darkly over the aged hilltops,
a harbinger of doom and despondent angry blasts.
Perhaps a bee gathering pollen and relishing nectar sweet,
a fitting meal for stately queens and princes and kings;
I am a game so full of fun, be it open for many,
or invented just for one; or maybe a brown leaf
that falls in Autumn spent and lifeless,
gathered only to be discarded;
perhaps a lonely moment now fading, now creating
some lovely haunting verse of delightful love.
Whatever I am I'll not complain,
for after all I'm simply glad to be here.
Just a scribble. Had to go
to hospital today. Nothing to worry about.
