I tremble because I am not the breeze, because I will never be the the auburn sunset on the surf, because I will never be as cleansing as the rain. I weep because I can not nurture half as much as the soil, and because I have not solidified enough to be a stone. My mundane body quakes with despair; because I am too complex to be as simple as the clouds, and I will never break as beautifully as a barreling wave. I am terrified because I don't know if I will ever be more than Human.

Only Human
I tremble because I am not the breeze, because I will never be the the auburn sunset on the surf, because I will never be as cleansing as the rain. I weep because I can not nurture half as much as the soil, and because I have not solidified enough to be a stone. My mundane body quakes with despair; because I am too complex to be as simple as the clouds, and I will never break as beautifully as a barreling wave. I am terrified because I don't know if I will ever be more than Human.
