Eulogy

Standing here ,
With my feet planted firmly,
I am stronger than the mighty oak,
That has shielded me in my growth,
In this untamed wilderness.

Standing here,
With my chest heaving,
I am swifter than the hunting wolf,
That has chased me in my dreams,
In this untamed wilderness.

Standing here,
With tears streaming down my face,
I am wetter than the flowing river,
That has drowned me in my innocence,
In this untamed wilderness.

Lying here,
With the stillness of fright,
I am quieter than the darkest night,
That has welcomed me back home,
To the untamed wilderness of the unknown.
