For a Moment

for a moment I wasn't me

I was the girl twirling in her sari
powerful enough to catch the wind
and throw it back to the clouds.

for a moment I wasn't me
I was the boy caught with wisdom
blue eyes stared down the sky
and strong arms welcomed the rain.

for a moment I wasn't me
I was the lost and lonely girl
seaking shelter amongst loving strangers
then she thought of me

and for a moment she was me.
she observed the strangers
awed at their spirit and strength.

I could feel the wind and rain.

I could see the children and the sky.
I could feel their love, and in return

I was the Sun.
