I am

A look into my mind

I am from the point before rain, where the fog is cut and shaped by the mountains below

I am from the moment where the waves crash, the time where the sea meets the land with a deafening crash

I am from music, where rhythm and beat become one.

I am from those few seconds between sleep and awake, where thoughts run free and blur with dreams.

I am from a dream land of love, where the hopeless romantic deep down shines through

 I am from the midnight sky, the bliss of the stars and the mystery of the moon, its own masterpiece painted over the clouds.

I am from the memories made with my best friend, Melanie, where lazy summer days were spent climbing magnolia trees and watching Disney movies.

I am from adventure, where trips to far off places are planned huddles over the maps around the kitchen table.

I am from hope, where the darkest hour is always before brightest dawn.

I am from lyrics, listening to multiple songs, each one becoming my theme song only to be replaced with the next song.

I am the dreamer, in one place and everywhere at once

Reviews

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This is a beautiful poem. I love the warm feeling I get while reading it.
It just made me feel good. I'm quite amazed at how you made this enormous
world, but then zoomed in to minute detail. I also like the way you are so
random in nature, but still move the thoughts in a uniform direction. I like
many things about this poem, but the ending is my favorite. It's paradoxical
in a way. You closed the idea and brought it all together, but it is still open
ended. This ends with good energy. This is quite an accomplishment IMO.
I know I'm stuck on the structure, but the imagery was beautiful. You really
made me exercise the imagination muscle.
