Who Am I?

I AM A PHENOMENA; LIKE WALKING ON WATER WITH MIND OVER MATTER. I AM DARK AND COMELY; FULLY COOKED AND DONE; BAKED BY THE SUBSTANCE OF THE SUN. I AM A DISPENSER OF SOUND PROVERBS LIKE LIFE-GIVING WATER; A GIVEN GIFT THAT SHALL NEVER FALTER. I AM A COMMODITY; A FORCE REQUIRED TO BE SEEN BODILY: OR SHOULD I SAY A GODSEND; A DEMAND LIKE A SUDDEN COOL HAZE THAT DESCEND. ONCE UPON A TIME, I WAS NOTHING IN THE SAND--REACHING MY END...THEN, LIKE A PRAYING MANTIS WITH BENDED KNEES, I RAISED MY VOICE FROM THE EARTH, THE DARK FILTHY DIRT, AND MY CRY SPURT, TOOK ROOT, SPROUT AND BLOOM: IT WAS A MASSIVE EXPLOSION...BOOM, LIKE A FETUS FROM THE WOMB--OUT OF THE BOWELS AS FROM A TOMB. NO, YOU'LL NEVER FIND ME FOLDING, SINKING, OR DOWNRIGHT LAYING DOWN TO DIE...I'M SOARING UP IN THE SKY, WITH NO CAPE--FLYING LIKE A BIRD ON HIGH. SO WHENEVER YOU WONDER AND PONDER MY EXISTENCE AS A LIVING BEING, BY ALL MEAN, TAKE A SECOND TO REVIEW THE FORESCENE: BUT BEFORE YOU CAN SEE THAT I'M THE TRUTH THAT'S COME TO LIGHT, BE SURE TO GRAB YOUR SHADES 'CAUSE I'M WAY TOO BRIGHT!!!
