I Am
January 16, 2009
I am a whisper on the wind
A siren's call upon the sea
The stirring of a thousand wings
Nature's bittersweet symphony
I am the mighty, rushing waves
A nightingale's gentle croon
The howling of a lonely wolf
To the enchanted harvest moon
I am as sturdy as an oak
Yet as flexible as a willow tree
The swift, majestic eagle
Flying forever free
I am the bubbling of a creek
The earthly rays of the sun
The ghostly shadows dancing in the night
I am the beauty of the Earth as one.

It resembles a Pocahontas song, as well as several poems about nature that I've seen before. Perhaps it was unconscious, but it seems that your rhyme schemes were borrowed.

I like this poem a lot. The imagery is wonderful and the rhyming is done very nicely. Kudos.

This is soo beautiful and powerful! It really shows the connection you feel with the Earth.
