I AM: WHO I AM

Today is the birth of I AM.
I AM is anything and anybody I AM shall be.
I AM is not limited.
I AM is not absolute.
I AM is something.
I AM is anywhere.
I AM is somewhere you  want to be.
I AM is someone you may know.
I AM may be real.
I AM may be just a figment of your mind.
I AM may twist your suspicions.I AM may create your reality.
I AM may be exotic, extinct, inexistent.
I AM may be a tall glass of iced coffee jelly.
I AM may be a a cup of milk tea.
I AM is a blank space.
I AM is a soft, warm, welcoming embrace.
I AM is a blanket.
I AM is a thousand rainbows' answer to your raging storm.
I AM is a heart beat.
I AM is a nerve, a dot, a point.
I AM is magic.
I AM is a poem.
I AM is a song.
I AM is a story.
Yet, I AM may be nothing, just as I AM.

PASSING TIME

by Maya Angelou

Your skin like
dawn

Mine like musk
One paints the
beginning

of a certain end.
The other,

the end of a sure beginning.
