I am the dusk, I am the dawn
I am a little dappled fawn
I rise above, I delve beneath
The deepest measure of belief

All that you know, all that you see
Are wellsprings of my entity
I am your darkness and your light
Your prayers of day, your dreams of night

I am the canvas of your art
I am the contents of your heart
I have been  poised upon your tongue
To sing the songs you left unsung

I am the you, you are the me
Dear poet, I am your poetry

Very classic and moving, Elizabeth.  Delicate and well wrought, like a piece of ancient lace.
Thank you.

Wow! I loved this.
It just flowed beautifully. All I had to do was sit back and enjoy, which I most certainly did!
To sum up:

I am... impressed
You are...one talented lady.

Thank you.

I love this line.

Beautiful imagery!
