This was one of the first poems I wrote, after I decided to get a bit more serious about poetry. Written about 3 years ago...Don't have the exact date... I Am... A flower made of stone A feather not so soft A sun not so bright And stars that don't give light. I Am... A turtle without its shell A book without a beginning A tree without its roots And a statue without a base. I Am... A cut that does not bleed Fabric that doesn't rip Gold that does not shine And a song that doesn't rhyme. A crayon without color A bird without wings A curved road without a bend I Am a poem without an end.... I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

well, I'd rather be those things then like every other fish in the sea, no? :-) Love this... "Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare." -Japanese Proverb |

Like your poem of I Am. I also have a version of I Am. When you have time go to Bonnie j and read. We could have an I AM party. I wonder if we have more I AM poems on the site, a party would be fun? See Ya Love BOn-Bon ![]() |
