(n-58)
.
i am the branch of a willow tree,
hanging over swift waters,
fixed to a mighty trunk,
i can not fall,
in me, refuge and peril are harmonious.
.
i am a song of rivers,
my lyrics are swift and certain,
they are the empty thoughts,
i see music taking sojourn.
.
i am the butterfly of beginnings,
the lovely wings of brevity,
seeking darkness leading to light,
i fly quickly,
.
i am the loveless,
who sees within himself,
the many slain in battle,
i am the troubled.
.
i am the hopeful,
my name is 'stalwart',
shunned by the wretched,
i fall into grace.
.
i can not die,
loving angels offend me,
my name is 'dual-one',
i fear dragons of hate.
.
i am the longing,
hoping for the peace,
my name is 'victory',
i am forced into war.
.
i am death and life,
the anvil of hope,
strike and be heated,
i am love unused.
.
