YOU ARE

You are the bird that hangs from the wire

You are the light that scares the dark

You are the dust that gets caught in the breeze

You are the rust in weathered steel

You are the prayer I hold in my heart

You are the smoke without the fire

You are the bag of stones I carry on my back

You are the song that silences my room

You are the sadness that falls on morning’s dawn

You are the pieces that can’t be put back together

You are the places I have never been before

You are the stranger I long to meet

You are the wall standing steady in my mind

You are the gaping hole that can’t be filled

You are the brightness in my shadows

You are the stars that reflect my dreams

You are the angels that kiss my brow

You are the water that helps me float

You are the thought taken carefully

You are the moment before waking

You are the lost that can’t be found

You are the hero that sheds all fear

You are the desire caught in my dream

You are the wondering in my thoughts

You are the ache in my bones longing for you

You are the shell echoing waves in my ear

You are the muted sounds that want to scream

You are the greatness lost within me
