I am?
Who cares who i am.
I only care ''I will''
And i know,
I will be better...; ▶ Reply to This

I am the light in the darkest night
I am a river I am the sky
I am a rock and I am short
And I dont care at all
I am a wave that leads to the shore
I am a bottle full of holes
I am a tiger with broken bones
I am shy and I am not
I am brave and I'm abnormal
I'm always me I'm never formal
I am a tree ready to give
I am the sun I am the sea
I am my place I am my dreams
I am the air that brings you peace
I'm ordinary and I am special
I am a voice I am a treasure
I am sweet and I am gypsy
I am a song with strange lyrics
I'm in my world I'm at your door
If you dont open you 'll never know.; ▶ Reply to This

Who is giving a fight
To reach that bright light
Before the shudder night; ▶ Reply to This

"self expression" ... they don't have to rhyme, but some do... they're just a powerful place to stand in who you are now... someday soon, I hope, you'll get to come back and see the beautiful master's I AM poem... that is... Dominique... amazing lady...; ▶ Reply to This

I am chad

I am happy… I am sad…
I am kind, I am mean, I am everything in between
I am fact, I am story, I am love and fear
I am far, I am near, I am between your ears
I am a thought, I am a word, I am serious and absurd
I am present and past, I am slow and fast

I am possibility. I am future.

I am the breath and the sound
I am lost and found
I am the here and now

I am a creation; ▶ Reply to This

i am the way...i am the light...
i am the dark inside the night..
i hear your hopes..i feel your dreams ..
and in the dark i hear your screams..
dont turn away..just take my hand..And when you make your final stand
i'll be right there i'll neve leave..
all i ask of you i believe..

OK – here is a snippet as I wait for Moses to wake up from his nap, the snow falling and the cold outside is frosting my windows…these poems are a instant creation for me – as Dominique instructed us they are ever-changing – based on the reality of your life in the here and now, where and when – influenced by your newly-created past and constantly evolving future and present…

Today I AM marching…standing and representing for a man dear to anyone who has walked a conscious path…he is a land of aspiration for me as I AM working and striving and forgetting and loving and rejecting and trumpeting and hoping to be a representation of our matching ideals…

and yet…

I AM usually sure that I AM not...who's to say? I know this though: when i can give over grinding myself and my self-battered idealism and let the slap-handed reality of life take a back seat for just a moment or two or t w o
h u n d r e d,

then I AM able to take my self-described ineffectual living and give grace to the blessings that overcome my yearning to get it right long enough to be slammed by the instant overwhelm of who I AM with or where I AM at or what I AM seeing, feeling, being, discovering, loving...I AM knocked out by the sharpness of those gifted vessels wherein I can place all my critiques and see the space that holds them, nullifying the wrongs and the undones...a true blessing I AM always forgetting yet can get set right the instant I choose to look for it...

I will walk now...baby-bundled for the cold, and we will immerse ourselves in looking for this grace blessing, and practice not forgetting...; ▶ Reply to This

So here is mine :

I AM:

I am confused
and I am confusing.

Sometimes I am loud
screaming my own words
and sometimes quiet
following the flow.

I can be a book
open truly wide
I can be a shadow
the darkness hides.

All I really am is a student
seeking for the path.; ▶ Reply to This
