I Am

I am all things.

I am the rain

on your brow

The quencher

for your thirst.

I am the lover

who tastes your skin

and absorbs your touch.

I am the mother

who soothes your brow

and holds you

softly

to her breast.

I am the beloved

of the intriguing man

who fills my life

with happiness and joy.

I am the laughter

and bliss infused

in your soul,

seen through your eyes.

I am the friend

who doesn’t breath

your hidden secrets

and quiets your angst

with lips

on your forehead.

I am the person

who ignores

those that I don’t choose

to have in my life,

picking and culling

those that enhance

my existence.

I am the person

who finds the best

in everyone,

polishing and

varnishing it

to a sheen

reflecting my love

in their image.

I am innocence

and sensuality

entwined.

I am the person

who loves knowledge

drinking it in gulps

until satiated.

I am the person who

opens arms wide

to culture and art

who wants to write

and create

an embroidered existence

full of love and hope

and giving.

One who opens arms

to all the hues,

echoes your light

and shines on her own.
