Touch me, feel me, see me
Yet I’m beyond your reach
Stretching away, beyond measure
Leaving you behind, leaving all
I am alone
Surrounding and surrounded
Uncontainable, distant, unknown
And yet caged, held captive
Restrained, held by invisible chains
But I am free
Wild and dangerous
Violent and untamed
Fearsome and unpredictable
I am awesome and powerful
But I welcome you, small one
With gentle arms
With comfort and pleasure
You will be safe
And happy
But you will be wary
Though you love me
You do not know me
I am a mystery
Despite your searching
You cannot wholly discover me
And what remains unknown
You will fear
