You Are

you are
water
flow around me mother
sister, daughter
water

you are
river
mighty earth lover
cool life giver
father
river

you are winter, brother hunter
silent stalker, spirit mocker

you are
stillness
shelter me from fullness
witness
breathless
moments

you are sleeper
awaken dream keeper
whisper
secret
speaker
