I AM

I am the sum, of all my parts A puzzle pieced, with fragile hearts I am the fire, that burns so bright A flame that flickers, through the dark of night I am the waves, that crash on the shore A constant motion, forever in store I am the wind, that whispers through the trees A gentle caress, or a raging breeze I am the earth, that grounds me tight A foundation solid, through the darkest night I am the sun, that shines so bold A light that guides me, through the stories untold I am the dreams, that dance in my head A kaleidoscope, of colors yet unsaid I am the fears, that lurk in the shadows dark A presence that haunts me, like a lingering spark I am the me, that I am today A work in progress, on a journey to stay I am the sum, of all my parts A beautiful mess, that beats within my heart CHRISTOPHER EVANS
