![]() The flicker at the center of hopeful eyes The base of the waves in the afternoon tides The grind between jaws of determination The heart of a nation I Am anticipation, resilience, elevation Of the Human Spirit, I Am The roundness of lips professing Love for the first time I Am the reach in the strive for success The assurance of a mind at its best Rest for the weary, answers to the query In search of a release I Am Clarity at the precipice of Peace Get to know me The hug after a nightmare The kiss in the midst of fallen tears The missing heartbeat in the face of fear Never defeated, I Am always there The open palm of gratitude The exhale of relief The waist of lovers' cuddle time Rest but never sleep on me I Am the flex in a Freedom Walk The confidence in Revolution's talk The stand taken The air that upholds the Fist of Justice I cannot be held down because I Am the ground that supports The People But I cannot be walked over because I Am the Future inevitably manifested I Am the haunted Past The part of hi(S)tory tried and tested And I passed Evolution because I Am the Present The surprise in gifts God-given The breath of the Living The strength in Forgiving The reason for Giving Not to be dismissed because I Am the storage facilitating memory So miss me with amnesia because I Am the analysis in every diagnosis The decibels in every scream The calm before the storm The pulse of the alarm I Am every thing and any thing in between #GetToKnowMe #SmithDonnellE #OnMyMind #blog #iAm
