I Stride Across Mountains

Something a little different from my usual fare, but my mind has been in need of a kick up the proverbial, so I did something healthy and focussed it into a poem. Get me!

I stride across mountains,

Take deserts by storm.

I sail through the heavens,

Strike camp on the moon.

I battle fierce ogres,

Fight demons of rage,

I tangle with shadows,

And strangle your shame.

For I am not timid,

Not tiny or small,

Nor will I be silent

Or frightened to fall.

I defy my adversaries,

My power is all –

I will not be transmuted

Into consumable form.

I am the wide ocean,

The sun and the rain,

I am forever and

Will never be tamed.
