i am a storm
in a world
that fears the rain
and lightning
and thunder
i dance on the edge
of moonlight and starshine
where wild hearts
whisper secrets
in my ear
you will tell me
to calm my chaos
to tame my spirit
i am 'too much'
but i am a wildfire
spreading through fields
of ordinary being
i do not fit
into neat little boxes
or follow
their straight lines
i am the echo
in the silence
of the vast universe and
the untamed breath
in the quiet night
i am wild
not because i must be
but because i am
and that
is enough
