I Am

I Am

A Poem by Jack E.

I am the wind that whispers on your lips
I am the arms that wrap around your hips
I am the gates that lead to your soul
I am your singularity and your whole

I am the stars that light your way
I am your shelter from the rain
I am the crutch upon which you lean
I am the silence in the space between

I am the joy in those smiling faces
I am your protection in far-off places
I am your eyes while you're asleep
I am the secrets that you keep

I am the hope inside your dreams
I am the fallacy in all your schemes
I am your rest when you cannot stand
I am all that you don't understand

I am your back that bears the knives
I am your shield when pain arrives
I am each and every thing above
But I am nothing without your love

I think I have always loved this one. I love the flow; I love the repetition; I love the beauty of words.

Nice repetition to get across a very comforting message. I am nothing without your love. Beautiful.
