On The Cliffs Of Eternity... Poem by Eric Cockrell

i am a man,
but i was once a leaf.
i was once a river,
once a mountain,
once a cloud.
i have been wolf,
turtle, hawk, and snail...
i have been a storm, i have been the wind.

do you dare love me?
i have waited for hundreds of years!
the fire inside of me,
consumes and feeds!

i dont know your name,
but i know the part too deep,
and too wild and untamed
to be spoken as name...

i wait on the cliffs of eternity!
