I Am
-------------------------------------------

I am The warm breeze which dries the dewdrops from the morn The birds in flight through the endless skies of blue The moon that floats above the stars, giving light to shadows I am Nature. I am The cry of a newborn baby in the lap of his mother The petals that bloom in the first signs of spring The tiny puppy that rests in the arms of a smiling child I am Life. I am The swelling of pride in the chest of a father on graduation day The golden ring on the finger of a beautiful young bride The slow steady tears on the cheeks of a heartbroken man I am Love. I am The arms of a lover in the heat of an embrace The colors on the canvas, coming to life at the hand of an artist The feverish sigh on the lips, in the aftermath of a kiss I am Passion. I am The ghost that waits in the darkness of the night The clash of thunder in a storm filled sky The dream that wakes you to sweat soaked sheets I am Fear. I am The ashes of a fire, which had once burned brightly The blade at the wrist of a broken hearted teenager The grief of a mother, who has lost her only son I am Death. I am every emotion known to man, I am every religion and race, I am every word that has yet to be written. For all who know me, I am Poetry.
