Identity Poem

         Identity is the way humans beings differentiate from each other. This poem shows us the authors view on his identity and identity in general. The poem in question is an untitled poem by Patrick Gillespie, in which he details himself as "the indecipherable movements of the winds" and the "murmur ascended in the field". In the poem, he uses metaphors to explain what he thinks an identity is. He uses nature to explain how he perceives his identity. I think that identity is everything around and in us that makes us who we are. The poet takes a different approach. He describes everything that would happen in a field and relates it to himself. I guess that we have an identity because of our two different approaches towards identity.
