Human Being

You are the first and the last.
You are the future and the past,
You are everyman and none,
You are the rising of the Sun.

In you protector, and protagonist,
In you victim and perpetrator,
In you the invincible, and the meek,
In you the balance all life seeks.

In you lies creation, in you the divine,
A manifestation of the Great Spirit,
The last of the once great warriors
Walking backward through time.
