I WAS

Photo from Cornell University ornithology lab. 

I was the willow and the earth;

I was the badger and the hill;

I was the moss and the stone;

I was the mist and the sun.

I was the deer and the meadow;

I was the bee and the blossom’

I was the heron and the marsh;

I was the salmon and the stream.

I was the dolphin and the sea;

I was the wave and the cliffs;

I was the gull and the wind;

I was the singer and the song.

I was the dreamer and the dream.
