"The Man Watching"

...The storm, the shifter of shapes, drives on
across the woods and across time,
and the world looks as if it had no age...

What we choose to fight is so tiny!
What fights with us is so great!
If only we would let ourselves be dominated
as things do by some immense storm,
we would become strong too,
and not need names.

When we win it's with small things,
and the triumph itself makes us small.
What is extraordinary and eternal
does not want to be bent by us...
