You Are

You're not just your stories -
your trials, your tribulations.
You're not just the last word
uttered in anger and disbelief.
You're not just the dust from
your last fall.
You're the whisper in the trees'
leaves blown by the 
gentle breeze.
You're the shoreline washed 
over by the sea foam wave.
You're the mountain and the
mountaintop.
The buzzing of the bees' wings
gathering pollen from the 
nectar of the garden's blessings.
You are the sun rays 
breaking through the clouds
as the angels sing.
The lotus flower floating slowly
 through the muddy pond 
as if you aren't even moving.
You are everything the world
told you you weren't;
You are capable of all the power and the
gentleness of nature wielding
a force of beauty.

  1. I didn’t realize that you wrote so much poetry. You seem past the need for rhyme. As a songwriter, I do need the rhyme device quite a lot. Still, quite a lot of abstract (for lack of a better word) poetry lends itself to melody and background tunes. Keep it up. The two poems I’ve read today are great. Keep up the good work.

    1. Thank you, Mark. I appreciate you reading them and taking the time to comment. As I know you as a great artist, your words inspire me to continue.
