I am.

I am the native tongue.

I am the brown recluse.

I am the spirit of the slave

with my neck in a noose.

I am a quote from the bible,

the legend of the scroll.

The music in your heart

when you sing from your soul.

I am the favorite son,

a warrior's tattoo.

The benefit of the doubt

when others can't trust you.

I am the dream keeper.

I am the moon's sun,

the hired gun, muted barrel,

I am the chosen one.

I am the brightest day,

and sometimes the darkest night.

I am the wind beneath the wings

when a bird takes flight.

I am the castle and the king,

the drawbridge, the moat,

the canoe in cried-rivers

making sure hope floats.

I am the first kiss, last breath.

I am the rook, the knight, the pawn, the king

in a game of chess.

I am the soul singer.

I am the rhythm and the blues.

I am the first idea

and The Creator's muse.

I am the sunday sermon.

I am the pulpit for the preacher.

I am the choir, prophet, priest

and sunday school teacher.

I am the saint-sinner.

I am the long way home.

I am a shape-shifter.

I am this poet's poem.

I am.

Preston J. Harrison.
