David Stearns Poet Blank verse

Time

I hate and I love
I am all and I am of
I forgive, I forsake
I give and I take

I am what I am 
I do what I do
I am I, I am you

I reap and I sow
I hold on, I let go
I see, I am blind
I lose and I find

I mend and I break
I destroy, I create
I believe and I doubt
I'm within, I'm without

I am weak, I am strong
I'm cast out, I belong
I am swift, I am slow
I am high, I am low

I'm yes and I'm no
I dim and I glow
I buy and I steal
I'm numb and I feel

I'm tomorrow, I'm today
I'm by your side, I'm in your way
I am young, I am old
I am silver, I am gold

I don't and I do 
I am many, I am few
I am here, I am there
I'm selfish, I care

I am the planets,I am the stars
I am earth, I am mars
I'm hello, I'm goodbye
I laugh, I cry

I am silence, I am sound
I am free, I am bound
I'm the sky, I'm the ground

I'm the sun, I'm the moon
I'm never, I'm soon
I am new and I am used
I win and I lose

I give and I use
I want and I need
I heal and I bleed
I'm the harvest, I'm the seed

I am the written, I am the read
I'm the unspoken, I'm the said
I am the living, I am the dead
I am blue, I am red

I pass by and I stay
I'm a choice and I'm the only way
I am always to be
I'm the lock, I'm the key

I am eternity
