1st January
I am everything
and yet,
I was nothing...
I.
I am streak within stillness
and scent within storm,
with stature of Saturn--
I am twelve feet tall.
II.
I am breeze of heat's wave
that saves sorrow's shoes;
once a bruise of heart's blames
within old twisted truths.
III.
I am Jupiter's soul
with six seeing eyes
that rise within cries
of hardship's duress.
IV.
You are gone with done deeds
etched
into your essence
whilst I am peace
that plays
within the solace
of simple understanding.
V.
You are sorry's stream
of silence
and I am worthy of voice
in a universe
crowded
with cruelty's choice.
I was nothing
and yet,
I am everything...
to me.
