I Am Not

I am not the Countryside
       drowned in whispers of sorrow
I am not the Great Owl
       silenced in the cloak of darkness
I am not the Moon
       one single pale eye
       watching over all
I am not Fierce River 
        roaring roars of anger
I am not  the Racoon
        intruder to all
I am not a lot of things-
but most of all-
i am not this "I Am Not" poem- saying things I am not
