Well, I gave this a try. However, some of the parameters really don't fit who I am, so much of this is just pulled from the far reaches of a pretend imagination. In other words, much is not true of me, just a grasping at thoughts to fulfill the opening phrase provided. There's my disclaimer.

I Am
Virginia Salter

I am silliness and seriousness of word
I wonder how far the universe reaches and what is beyond
I hear rice paper calling me
I see snowflakes drift past my longings
I want to bring smiles and tears to touch your hearts
I am silliness and seriousness of word

I pretend to be strong...sometimes
I feel like garlic in an orchid garden
I touch velvet petals in the wind
I worry about losing loved ones
I cry when someone’s heart is touched by loss
I am silliness and seriousness of word

I understand I am loved unconditionally
I say I am loved unconditionally
I dream of writing uplifting and healing thoughts
I try to stay just healthy enough
I hope I make right choices and follow my true path
I am silliness and seriousness of word

Virginia...maybe you should read again...I think you wrote a "universal" piece here...either that, or somebody was telling you to describe ME. Very well done! And now, if you'll excuse me? I think I hear rice paper calling me....grin...

Virginia,
did you look in the mirror before writing this, I think you captured elements of you very well. Good write.

Somehow I've seen more seriousness in you....I believe this challenge was well met in your words...

VAS~
You did an excellent job of mirroring someone -
I think she might come closer to you than you realize at first glance.

Wonderfully written.
