I am a rat, I am a snake,
I am slimy, I am scaly,
I am dirty and I'm fat,
I am a worm, I wriggle through the dirt,
I am a bat, I bite till it hurts,
I am all this and more,
I am the dirt on the floor,
I am the creaking in your door,
I am the shadows on the moore,
I am the cold that comes at winter,
I am the creeping up your spine,
I am nothing and everything but fine.
You are the sun, You are the moon,
You are the stars at night,
You are the shining noon-day light,
You are the cooing of the doves,
You are the warming touch of love,
You are the warm laugh of friends,
You are the breaker of the trends,
You are the light inside our lives,
You are the healer of the hurts,
You are the best and I am the worst.
Out of darkness, Out of shadow,
Out of love, Out of warm embrace,
Out of creeping, Out of crawling,
Out of laughing till your falling,
Out of the coldness of winter and the night,
Out of warmth and out of light,
A son was born in the pale morning night,
A daughter in the coming of night,
They are the breakers of the walls,
They are our folly and our falls,
Our wiseness and our calm,
They are the perfect in this world,
They are all the colors unfurled,
They are the products of our love,
They are pristine and the fragile,
The swift and the agile,
The strong and the brave,
The cowards and knaves,
They will breed and go to graves,
Among the flowers of your garden,
And my darkness will embrace them.
You And I • Opuss № I
