Who Am I ?......................

My head knocks against the stars. 

My feet are on the hilltops. 

My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life. 

Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands 

     and play with pebbles of destiny. 

I have been to hell and back many times. 

I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God. 

I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible. 

I know the passionate seizure of beauty 

And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading "Keep Off." 

My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe. 

-Carl Sandburg
