We are who (what) we are.

 

We are candles that

burn slowly (and too fast)

and bring their scent to

the world for a time

and then extinguish

in the wind.

 

We are what (when) we can be.

 

We are sand hills moving

and forming where they will form

and creating great slopes

impressive and grand

only to be flattened

in the next wind.

 

We are as much (as little) as we can be.

 

Changing, living and dying,

all in one breath.
