I Am

April 22, 2021 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

I am
creation-
light
life
love
balanced
knowing
understanding
wise

I am
created-
able
willing
resilient
persistent
ambitious
inspired
imaginative

I am
creative-
thinking
gifted
talented
diverse
intuitive
innovative
passionate

I am
creator-
constructive
productive
proactive
architect
potter
artist
inventive

but, I am
destroyed-
pushed on
pushed out
pressed on
pressed down
kicked on
stepped on
stood on
trekked on
down looked
looked past
spat on
cut down
broken down
crushed up
built on
used up
cut out
counted out

then, I am
forgotten
forsaken

yet, I am
forgiving?

and yet still,
I Am
