I Am

By Munda

 

I am like sunlight, embracing with warm delight,

And the icy blood river, turning hearts to stone.

I am a guiding star in darkest hour,

And a false beacon to the lost wanderer.

 

I am shelter in a storm,

And desolation in the crowd.

I am strength behind life itself,

And death to the irrational hopeful.

 

I am the Sun, the Stars and Moon,

The Universe and Heaven’s door,

Or a gate to your personal Hell,

Crushing lost souls with innermost fears.

 

I am a seducer of mind, body and soul,

Lifting up for starry flight,

Or pulling down to Devil’s lurid pools.

I am an Angel and Demon - Light and Darkness;

Past, Present and Future.

The silent muse within the poet’s heart,

The rage of lunacy,

The whisper in the wind, singing sweet lullaby,

The storm behind words, swift arrows of hurt.

 

I am distance and closeness,

Beauteous dream and horrid nightmare,

Comfort and grief, happiness and pain,

Destiny and yearning desire - despair and salvation.

I am the shivering delight of burning passion;

I hold a grip upon the fragile heart.

I am fantasy and reality.

 

I am the most wanted in life,

The solid rock to build your house on;

I am Home.

 

I am Life’s symphony,

Life’s secret melody within;

I determine your tune.

I am to live and die for,

For I alone have the power.

 

I am:

In your heart,

In your mind,

In your soul.

I am in you

And you are in me,

Therefore I am.

 

I am Love.
