Patterning

I am the stars in all their brightness,
I am the horse that roams the plain,
I am the air in all its lightness,
I am the clouds that bring the rain.

I am the tallest snow-capped mountain,
I am the forest’s reaching trees,
I am the rippling bubbling fountain,
I am the hawk that rides the breeze.

I am the shore that knows the ocean,
I am the wave white-flecked with foam,
I am the wind in ceaseless motion,
I am the pilgrim far from home.

I am the seasons’ endless turning,
I am the right against the wrong,
I am the flame in gladness burning,
I am the voice upraised in song.

I am the dawn in all its glory,
I am the speech of minstrels' art,
I am the telling of the story,
I am the dream within my heart.
