Mark Norton Poet I do not know?

I Am Me

I Am Me


I am the morning sun that glistens over the mountain tops made  
White by freshly fallen snow from the night before,

I am the brightest star that shines through the autumn air as it gives
Way to dawn,

I am the trickling brook that journeys from the melting ice of
Springtime peaks, to the streams and rivers, then eventually to
The sea,

I am the laughing child playing in the afternoon sun,
And I am the dead soldier far from home.

I am the fear and hate that thrives in the mind of man,
And I am the love in ones heart;

I am the music in your ears and the scent of the flowers,
The birds that fly, the fish that swim,
The clouds over your head and the grass beneath your feet.

I am the nights’ darkness and I am the morning light,

I am everything and I am nothing,

But most of all; I am me
