Well I'm a canyon
I'm the hole that keeps you down
I'm the war drum
You hit me,but I don't make a sound

I'm an hour
But I don't want to hear your call
I'm your last name
But your face I can't recall

I'm an echo
Peircing through the canyon walls
I'm a whirlwind
I'll send you back if you should fall

I'm the wet paint
Splashed across your frowning face
I'm the question
But people don't hear what I say

I'm the desert
I'm the horse you ride through pride
I'm the cheiftain
I'm the fire in your eyes

I'm an arrow
Flying through a smoke filled bar
Going nowhere
But you know how far I'll fall

I'm a condor
My shadow's thicker than my bones
I'm an indian
I'm the teepee you call home

Very nice, enjoyed especially the quoted stanza.

I am mastered totally by Love."
