Z) I am

Part I

I am,
in this dull rumble,
striking steel,
close perfection
and aged wrath.
Hidden from the world,
closed up inside this cage
of yellow and green,
with eyes of fire,
belching forth puerile passive
tales of joy.

I am
grown slumber and weary feet,
waiting for sounds of secret love,
waiting for the sand to fall
and leave me.

I am
always and forever,
lost and found
amongst the hillside flowers
and the valley of dreams.

Part II

I am,
And all that ever has been,
Locked up in simple flesh and bone,
With cascading memory
Down the path of time.

I am,
As always,
The one you look to
In the darkness.

I am
The thought behind your smile
And the ache in your breast,
The beating of your heart
And whisper of your breath.

I am
The first the last,
Everyone you have known
And unlike all others.

And,
In slumber,
In waking,
In happiness,
And in love,
I am.
