Elements

I am a child of the Cosmos

I reside within the Ether

My language is Art

Projected through Thought

Translated through Matter

Force packaged into dimensions of three, two and one

I am a child of wisdom

My currency is knowledge

My weapons are words and intelligence

My wars are against ignorance

My victories are enlightenment and literacy

My spoils are the thrones of Sagacity

I am a child of emotion

Rooted in passion

Surrounded by joy and happiness

Susceptible to anger, jealousy and sadness

Tempered by love, wrath, and impatience

I am a child of my people

Resilient

Progressive

Unbending

Peaceful

Respectful

Honest

Mystical

Ancient

And Proud

I am a child of the creator

A child without limitations

A child beyond the borders of mere verbal definitions

A child of philosophies, concepts and theories

A child of ‘scapes

Mindscapes, thoughtscapes, escapes

A child of the universe, the ultraverse, the multiverse

The second, first and last verse

A child of the meeting

The greeting

 The parting

I am the child of elements

I am the child of everything.
