The Last Token

Be gentle as the wind fierce as the stars 
that shine at night 
Be careful as a city deer unschooled as the sea    
Be aware of others but don't lose yourself  
nor give away the token  that was meant for,  
you

Wonderful thoughts, MRR. I'm going to work on a poem for your contest, but I'm not quite sure which direction it will take at this moment. I am drawn to the fourth line of your verse, particularly. Thanks.
