i am alive
I am
Artist & Author
Beauty & Beast
Living and Dying
Held and Released
I am
Seeing and blind
Hearing and deaf
Walking and paralyzed
Seeking what’s left.
I am
With you and lonely
Love you; not only
I can give you my best, take what is least, hold on to it all and give it release
I am
With you, everyone, everything,
Like Tolkien’s mythic ring.
Can’t see you in darkness, but love you in light
And releasing my sharpness, gives heaven’s delight.
I am
Narrow in victory, divine in defeat
Yet, when breathing with love, I’m alive and complete.
