I AM
I Am
By: Somer Jordan
I am orange
I am brown
I am born
I crawl
I waddle
I fall
I walk
I run
…Running
I prevail
I press on
I am miraculous
I came from dung
Strings, yarn, lights, bows as the curtains fall
Flowers; roses with thorns
Pens, paper, scripture, altar, tears, cuts, flashes of thunder…lightning
Here comes the rain
Intertwining with the bleedings onto beds of soil, sprouting victory
I am growth
I am Loved
It.Was.Only.I.AM.
