Back To You

if you're a vine, then climb
don't cling
if you're a pebble, don't shout
it is too unlikely of you
if you're a tiger, roar
if you're a lion, kill
the deer,
if you're a bird, by all means
fly
if you're the sea, keep this
width and make the storms
if you're the sky, keep
the space and hang the stars
and give way for the moon
if you're the night be dark
if you're the day, shine brightly
with the sun
keep things true to thy nature
be

there is no need to be anybody
just be yourself

now wake up, and write.
