I Am.

A sun catcher, a wind chime -

I hold what you can never see;

I am the thought that lingers,

I am the only forbidden glee.

I’m the music you can’t recreate,

The rhythm you cannot fight;

You play me all you want -

I’m the tune you can never get right.

The moment of truth, I am,

A reflection staring back at you;

I am the reason you look away,

In nothingness, I’m all that’s true.

I’m the drop that tempts your lips,

The warmth that draws you close;

I’m the wind beneath your wings,

I’m the inner glow that shows.

A reason you cannot reason with,

The answer you’ve always known;

I am the question that’ll remain

And leave you tattered and torn.

The power that makes you weak,

Or the love that can fill your life;

I’m the home you wish you had,

The cause of an eternal strife.

A sun catcher, a wind chime,

The raging water behind a dam!

Your heartbeats race and skip,

You can love because I am.
