i am a rapid river,
flowing with out restriction or apology.
i am vicious and free.
i am the Nile during akhet,
flooding the past and
drowning everything in sight.
i exist mercilessly,
and i will not apologize for being
a poet with words that rampage through
your mind and drown
your memories of the old me.
i am soft enough to quench
the thirsty,
and give life to flowers.
i am calm and contained
when i need to be.
i sparkle with joy
and reflect the light in your soul.
i am home to many songs
and poems that swim
inside me like fish in a pond.
i am an ocean that overflows
with love and music.
i am soft and wild.
i am an endless river of
poetry and music.
melodies and stanzas
flow out of me,
flooding my pages
hydrating flowers i thought had died
with the old me,
giving life to the seeds that
were hidden deep within me.
seeds that will bloom
into stories that i will share
with those willing to jump in
and swim with me.
i am rampant,
i am rebellious,
i am wondrous,
i am soft,
i am life,
i am freedom.
