I Am All

This is just a poem I wrote to describe the myriad things in nature that are beautiful and unique. I may make more individual poems adding more description, but I may not. Plans have that way of becoming unraveled.

I am the forest, I am the trees,

I am the birds, the flowers, the bees.

I am the skies that birds fly through,

I am the clouds that all gaze to.

 

I am the mem'ry of things unseen,

I am the blossoming mountain stream.

I am the whisper of velvet paws,

I am the echo of Zephyr's laws.

 

I am the sparkle of a distant star,

I am a lake as viewed from afar.

I am the lay of the emerald land,

I am a grain of white-gold sand.

 

I am the drifting, swirling mist,

I am the feeling of good friends missed.

I am the light of sun and moon,

I am what's left of what's gone too soon.

A beautiful read and you saved the very best for last. That last line is tremendous. I am . . .

Pleasurable, rhythmic, melodic and thoughtfully done. Excellent.

This reminds me of a Native American poem I once read. Very nice!

I really enjoy this piece a lot! It has beautiful imagery, brings a portrait to my mind in a way. One of the best I've read among new writers! Great write!

That was really good, and indeed you are everything you said. I hope you will post more poems because you write them very well. I'll come back to see. Welcome to writerscafe, poet Justin Tobey!

Beautiful.

[Seriana]

That was really sweet! I REALLY enjoyed all the references to "I am". One of my favorite songs is, "I am the highway" by Audioslave. Your poem reminded me of that. And you did an excellent job of describing the beauty of nature around us. Good job!
