I am the wind in your hair at the ocean shore
the morning mist on your skin

I am the owl that watches as you move through the forest
the afternoon sun that warms you

I am the wildflower you picked in the silent meadow
the brook that murmurs as you cross

I am your quickening heartbeat as you hurry to your destination
the spring rain that catches you by surprise

I am the joy you feel as you read a special birthday wish
the music that wakes you to a new day

I am the reverence you feel in the silent empty church
the hand that holds yours on a summer night

I am the child you hold tenderly in your arms for the first time
the man you sought but could not find

I am the tears in your eyes when you lose a dear friend
the cold ice cream that excites your tongue

I am all of these things...and more
I am life



the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

I really enjoyed this, Pegasus.  I like the premise of finding various things that mean life to a person, and your examples are great.

Pegasus; Beautifuly said, lovely poem. ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Joanna, thank you.

Ellie, what can I say to you except, you make me smile
