I Am... Poem by Janelle Morehart

Piece by Piece
Little by Little
Another part of me
Drifts away
A name written on the sand
Will always blow away
A promise written in water
Will never be seen
So what does that make me?
I am the sand
I am the water
So hard to see
So hard to keep there
I am fading
I am invisible
yet why am I always seen
An empty shell
A fading vessel
I am what I am
Something once said
So what am I?
'A nothing' says a whispering mind
A grain of sand
A dropp of water
I am a molecule in the universe
I am a space in a wide theater
I am a nothing something once said
I am nothing
Nothing I shall remain
