I am what I am.

A holy man. Devoted to God. A sinner. A humanitarian. I have no finery. A lowly priest.

I am what I am.

Wet, earthy soil. The slender curve of a stem. Reaching towards the light. The break of dawn. The sun shining onto the great wooden cross. The shadows cast by a willow on a river. The babble of a brook.

I am what I am.

"In man as well as herbs, grace and rude will."

I am what I am.

Scheming. Planning. An old man longing for peace in his town. A loyal friend to Romeo and Juliet. An apothecary. Plans sabotaged. Reckless, seizing the chance to stop both Montague and Capulet. A mentor. A poet. Books upon books filled with plans and formulas. Well-meaning.

I am what I am.

A fool, in which both light and dark dwell. A grave mistake I did make. Initiating a tragedy with two little words from both lips that speak no more.

I do.
