IOANNIS PANAGIOTOPOULOS Poet Free verse

I am what I am

I am what I am!
I am a positive breeze
blowing now between us,
with a clear sky in my mind
and a blooming orchard in my heart.
I am a sense of certainty
in our stride,
along the labyrinthine paths
of a world that keeps on growing.
I am a clear voice
amidst our voices,
our inexhaustible speech
heard in every language.
I am a warm smile
amidst our alienation,
with a tender gaze and humanity—
an embrace for all.
I am the strong, rapid heartbeat
of our love,
a revitalized pleasure
in the pulse of happiness.
I am love—
true love,
given without expecting anything in return;
a positive breeze,
a sense of certainty,
a clear voice,
a warm smile,
a strong, rapid heartbeat;
I am what I am!

Alison A Smith September 4, 2026 at 8:22 PM A beautifully affirming free-verse poem, its repeated “I am” creating a steady, declarative rhythm that feels both personal and communal. The imagery moves warmly from breeze, sky, and orchard to voice, smile, and heartbeat, building a generous vision of love as openness, certainty, and human connection.
