I Am More

I Am More

I have been sad

I was sad

And I will be sad

But I am not today

I am more than just my pain

More than the words I write

And more than the thoughts I fight

I will let my tears fall where they may

And I will let the sun come my way

Soaking in

And letting out

The beautiful rainbow 

Yet to arc

And once I cry

Tears won’t come my way

Because I am more than the sorrow;

The tears

The agony

Of these cold days…

I have myself

From birth to death

And will never be alone

In that sense

So I was sad

And will be 

But a gift I see

For mind and body

A cherishing of the day

As the ‘present’ it embodies
