Who Am I?

MY head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
    universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
    reach my hands and play with pebbles of
    destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
    reading “Keep Off.”
 
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
    in the universe.
