What Am I?

What Am I?

 

I am that which you always seek

I am that which makes the strongest weak

I am that which the foolish abuse

I am that which the smart fear to use

I am that which grants power

I am that which from armies cower

I am that which plagues your sleep

I am that which your heart keeps

I am that which cannot be harmed

I am that which the faithful charm

I am that which keeps family firm

I am that which from painful lessons are learned

I am that which cannot be seen by eyes

I am that which is written in the skies

I am that which for songs are sung

I am that which for marriage bells are rung

I am that which is as pure as a dove

I am that which in you can be

I am love, or am I destiny

Very rich piece, Love the rhyme scheme and the concept, really leaves room for us to imagine, that could be so many things which is brilliant.

B.C. I love this, it is beautifu. It sounds like you are writing about God, the way I feel about him. I can almost feel your soul in this. It is beautiful. Thank you for your comments to my poem, I appreciate it. I sent you a friends request also

We can be many things in a long life. I believe as long as we are kind and try to do the rights things. We will be okay. I like the flow of thoughts in the poem. A strong ending to a excellent poem.
