I Am

“If you cannot be a poet, be the poem.”~ David Carradine I am the body, the mind and the soul The rhythm, the rhyme and the song, I am the moonlit nights rendezvous and the days of fun and frolic I possess the spirit of the Shaman and the lure of wayward muse The ever pining spirit of the poet A wandering soul from the astral plane I am the inspiration the flight of imagination where the whimsical wind weaves amazing mazes, Poetry is the staple of life the elixir of mind the quintessence of spirit, If I cannot be the poet I’ll be the poem— at once captivating, and liberating.
