Lonna Blodgett Poet Free verse

And So I Am

I am
the warmth in the comfort and contour
of sweet tones and gentle voices

I am
the color and design of exquisite joy
and the contrasting balance of dark and light

I am
the shelter of enduring silent spaces
where hollow ghosts reside in unseen places

I am
the soil of prime expression sown with seeds of strength and grit
to toil within the fiery house of passion

I am 
the lengthy stride that drives my direction towards my fate
while deep caverns of doom and failure imperil with craters of strife

I am
the infinite treasure and outcome of endless novels of stardust
the start to all beginnings the end of all ends

I am
the primary and infinite force in the acceptance of all truths
the core of compassion within the confines of my flesh

I am 
the fundamental verity of all things known within change
the supreme element that answers the intention of the universe

I am 
The ultimate perfection
I am love
