All I Truly Know

I am nothing if not myself.

I do not need bits and pieces of others

To make me whole.

I do not seek love, but yet I find

It all around me.

I am as far from perfect as the earth

Is from the moon,

But yet I see perfection,

In the seas fury, the winds power,

The sweetness of a summer's day,

And the frostiness of winter.

I am a dreamer, for dreaming keeps me sane.

I do not look for God for God is everywhere,

In all, and yet in nothing.

The greatest gift I've ever received

Or given, is friendship,

For it is not clouded by loves passion.

The greatest life I've ever known

Is mine, it is the only one I truly know,

The only one I can control.

The greatest life I've ever lived is this,

For if indeed there were

Or will be others,

They remain as foreign as the farthest star.

I am a giver, a taker, and a traveler.

Not knowing where my journey began

Or when it will end.

This is all I truly know.
