I am a feather in the wind; neither lost nor aimless, simply drifting. I am a constant flowing river... I walk with feet of clay; a work in progress. I am a gentle dove of a man, a quiet storm of inner peace. I am light switched on in a world of shadows; it shows in my smile. I am beauty in ugliness; incorrigible optimist, a faithful soul. I am poetry, published and unwritten; a bard with a every present pen. I am a soldier of truth, endlessly seeking clarity and enlightenment. I am a conqueror of destiny; a coconut: tough shell yet soft inside. I am mindfulness, kindness, joyfulness; a gift from God. I am, most of all... a man of value.

Superb metaphors, my friend. A brilliant introspection--aren't we all in some way--a work in progress? I like that thought.
