I’m a little wren
Nesting in the pine
And singing to be heard
Loudly and sure
Because I have a song to share.
•
I’m a white rose
Opening in the garden
With petals etched in pink
At the edges
Because my time is now.
•
I’m a cloud
Floating across the sky
And ever changing
Shape and form
Because that’s what clouds do.
•
I’m a book
Scrawling with thousands of words
Filled with originality
One you can’t put down
Because it is unexpected.
•
I’m invisible
Yearning to be seen
Screaming to be heard
Ignored by so many
Because I am incurable.
•
I’m a candle
Lighting the dark
And giving hope
Wherever it’s needed
Because candles illuminate life.
•
I’m a butterfly
Fluttering in the breeze
Lighting on flower
After flower
Because I make the world beautiful.
•
I’m a song
Humming my melody
With a driving rhythm
And I listen to the spaces between the notes
Because they are important to the song.
•
I’m the sky
Seeing everything below
No matter how I look
Sun or rain, day or night
Because I am always there.
•
I’m a bee
Working to keep the
Entire world from collapse
With little thanks or understanding
Because I sometimes sting.
•
I’m a unicorn
Staying as safe as I can
And as real as can be
While I travel with others like me
Because unicorns do exist.
•
I am a human
With cancer
Wishing to morph
Into someone without cancer
Because I want to be healthy again.
•
These are the things I am
As I morph from one to another
But I also feel like a puddle of tears
Or a bundle of nerves
Firing uncontrollably
As demon cancer cells
Multiply inside a body trying to stay alive.
•
How am I feeling?
I feel misunderstood
And sometimes voiceless
Silenced by a need to conceal
And wear a disguise of a smile.
•
Look into my eyes.
My eyes don’t lie.
Eyes are windows
Into our souls.
My soul either is a light
Or it is an empty hole of longing.
•
I want us all to be lights.
What do you see?
