'I Am'

By Celestial Sailor

---

Days will pass

As slowly as they begun,

Nights would approach

To imbue me with that

Of creative energy, compassion

And assurance.

A beast deep within the jungle,

Defensive to rules and regulations

Strives for its will, listens to its heart

Despite all opposition,

Travels a pathway

Just as I do wait for you.

Past the rainy, cold days

The sun would rise and pierce the clouds

Destroy the illusions and show the path;

Though the beast may struggle,

It perseveres,

Just as I do wait for you.

Sometimes the beast becomes untamed

Full of heavy emotions, and a burdened heart;

As I hold it within two hands,

Speaking of my will and pathway

It shall submit, ready to serve

It shall be the transport of my soul.

Sometimes the torch is lost

Set alight the tower that once defended,

Though I do not sift through the rubble

Searching for negativity,

I build myself another

Filled instead with dreams and desires,

Hopes but not fears

It shall be the transport of my soul.

My heart may ache at your absence,

Though I know you are always here.

You never are truly gone, always here

So in this knowledge I carry

I may reach my goals and dreams

And know that soon,

You will also be by my side.

My lover, and my Higher Self.
