Who I Am

Who I Am

A Poem by Kathryn Smith

Do you know what it feels like to fall in your arms?

Do you know what it feels like to love you?


Don't forget who it is that you are





When I listen, I'll listen to you with my heart and soul


When I love, I'll love fiercely, for all love is a form of art.


When I trust, I'll trust you with my life.


When I cry, I'll break to pieces in strife.


When I'm filled with joy, I'll fly away.


And when we run through the trees


 our galloping feet will kick start the sparks



At night I'll howl to the moon


Take shelter in your heart


When I find your hurt and your sorrow


 I'll caress them till you are free from your doom



I am a girl in the stars


A woman from the sun


I'm hard to find and hard to keep.


I'm wild and I'm free.


I am learning to be me.




I'm never tame nor predictable.


If I dream, I'll sprint after it.


If I'm doubted, my drive grows higher.


Our bliss will come


and our love will be lit up.  



 


I'll fight for our happiness


For our bravery


For our story


I am a raging fire


and I'll never go down in smoke 


I have held on to all hope






I am a beacon of light in the dark of night


I'll build an empire


I am who I am


and you'll find out.

The poem is amazing.
"I am a beacon of light in the dark of night
I'll build an empire
I am who I am
and you'll find out. "
I'm old. The older I get. The less I know about women. I just hope with the women near me. I stay in the light of love and kindness. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Hi old friend. I'm here for the moment. I love this, as I do all your work. You have a real talent, I pray you don't waste it.

It appears you have a broken wing.

I want to know how you do this. I believe it comes from your heart and it's amazing.

Kathryn, At times this seems firm and confrontational ("If I'm doubted, my drive goes higher...") and at others almost reverential, but the wordplay, the Sexton-like conversational style is consistently strong throughout and stellar. Just another Kathryn write! And I mean that as a compliment. take care...dan
