Analysis of Clouds
Michael Lester 1987 (Dundee)
I know what the mind never will.
I am alive, yet still.
I am the being of all delight,
I am the source of all in sight.
I am care and judgement free,
I am the one that simply be’s.
I am the one who fears not,
I am the one that can never rot.
I am unafraid, true and strong,
I am the one who knows no wrong.
