i am... <br />something more <br />than my regrets, <br />something less, <br />than my dreams. <br />more of a carpenter <br />than a sculptor, <br />more of a farmer <br />than a savior. <br />dented, bruised, dusty, <br />and often busted. <br />i know the darkness <br />as well as the light, <br />sometimes better! <br />peaceful, but not a pushover, <br />will fight when cornered. <br />know about your jails, <br />and the prison of self. <br />been a drunkard, been a healer, <br />a mad lover, an unholy priest. <br />i've plowed the earth, <br />plowed the body, <br />built fires in the rain. <br />i am... <br />forgiveness, redemption, <br />passion, and spirit. <br />i am what i am, <br />and that is enough!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/revelation-70/
