19. WHO IS HE?

He is like a cloud
that quenches the thirst and flies away
He is like a cool breeze
that fills flowers with fragrance
and wanders away
He is like a river
that passes through villages and cities
but nobody knows
where it comes from and where it goes
He has been appearing unexpectedly
and disappearing mysteriously
as long as people can remember
Some nights he is found sleeping under a tree
Some mornings he is discovered feeding the birds
Some afternoons he is seen playing with children
Some evenings he is lost watching the sunset
He is old but handsome and graceful
His hair is long and grey
His eyes brown and beautiful
He walks slowly but confidently
He talks less but compassionately
He appears to people
when they need him the most
He believes
all precious things in life are free
whether sunshine or fresh air
spring water or pure love
He encourages people to follow their dreams
He has no name
no place to live
no relation to anyone
Some call him a father, others brother
some friend, others guru
Some believe he is a poet, others a mystic
He is many things to many people
He has been a mystery
for generations
