Do you see…?: A poem 

Do you see? 

that my temperament is like the breeze 

I have motion like the seas 

But the moon chains my knees 

Compassion and fury are equally burdens 

Pastel at times, and harsh sudden 

I can see my earth redden 

And then it can turn too wooden 

Do you understand? 

that I have humility’s strand 

It is in my shoes 

that travel far like the news  

Momentary flares dissipate with a sigh 

Apologies spring forth when they are nigh 

Though passions can be very high 

I can never hurt even a fly
