I am a crow

I am the one you never saw coming.
I am the one you thought I could not be.
I am the one who may die for your honor.
I am the one who may almost kill me.

I am the one who sees things that you never knew.
I can live nine of my lives to your one.
I am the one who has nothing yet everything.
I am the one who can fight, fly or run.

I am the one who became once as nothing.
I am the one who in nothing, was all.
I am the one who will never lie to you.
I am the one who has no fear to fall.

I am one of those who fly with the black crows.
I am the mountain the sky and the earth.
I am the one who knows nothing that he knows.
I am one whose value is far beyond worth.

I am the one who speaks softly to water.
I am the one who raccoons know and love.
I am the parent, the son, and the daughter.
I am the black crow that circles above.

I am the one who is friends with mosquitoes.
I am the one who is calm in the storm.
I am at one with the wasps and the shadows.
I am the one who is there in the dawn.

I am the bird who is one with the seasons.
I am the eye of the cyclone at sea.
I am the rain, and the wind, and their reasons.
I am the calm in the end, finally.

I am a bird who can say all of these things.
I am all these things a bird could not be.
I am a crow who is nothing, and all things.
Knowing I am all these things, I am free.
