I, Simply, Am

I am.
I am. a human being,
therefore, I am compassion.
I am a lotus flower helping those around me reach their full bloom,
I am.
I am. a piece of Mother Nature herself,
therefore, I am beauty.
I am as beautiful as lightning striking the tops of mountains
and the sunrise in the fog that settles afterward,
I am.
I am. a single soul among millions and billions
settled on a miniscule scale,
therefore, I am life.
I am one among many that represents everything that I have seen
to everything I will see.
I am.
I am. a person.
Therefore, I am myself.
I am all the knowledge I have gained
and all words that I have spoken,
a trail blazed across the lives of the people
I have touched and loved.
I, simply, am.
