I Am Who This Poem Is Making

I am who this poem is making;
this shy monster beginning to understand
that in life one must release the roar. 
I must surrender to this nameless moment; this consequence of destiny waiting
for the impatient clouds of spring to turn the seasons.
No tomorrow no yesterday, just this naked awakening.
I have dressed myself with this veil of my obligation. I have
drawn it about me like the calmer clouds of June and it is everywhere inside of 
me. I am this silent joy, like summer clouds crumbling to the vague voice of 
autumn sun. I am
poet, poem, poetry, drifting freely like the lonely clouds of autumn not yet 
possessed by that harsher reality.
I am who this fading verse has made and all it has done is meaningless...
