I Am Poetry

I am African, Your native air. I am Whom? You ask. I am Poetry. Ever, every where. I am the lyrics to every romantic song I am what is right from all that is wrong I am the receiving of lost that is always found I am the lifting up, whenever your heart is down I am the sharing of what is mine, to make it also yours I am the meaning of what living life was created for I am the resting moon, the crying stars, the smile from the sun I am the nature of love and of pain that is one I am the chanting dance for war and for peace And I am the spirit praising warriors alive and deceased Because I am African, Your native air. I am Whom? You ask. I am Poetry. Ever, Everywhere
