Perspective Freewrite - Love

I am you, I am them, I am us, I am me, I am him, I am her, I am it. I will be found in the air you breathe, cloying with sweetness or suffocating and stagnant. I will be found in the waters where tears flow into rivers and runs through the taps of joy, laughter and relief. I will be found in the fires of retribution, desire and dreams; and amongst the hearth where kin and kind seek comfort in its warmth. I will be nestled comfortably in the sands of time and take new roots and grow deep in the earth hidden by the forces of nature. I am the lightening bolt that illuminates your emotional storms; I am the roll of thunder that demands to be acknowledged seriously. I am the playful breeze that caresses your skin like a lover as the heat makes you languid. I am the solidity and stability of the materials that house you. I am the cracks, chips and walls of experience of your heart. Looking in and out, looked at closely and from afar, looked over, under and around. I am the reason, the cause and the excuse. I am every stranger you may smile at when eyes meet in crowded places. I am the veil between reality and fantasy and the place in-between when it’s neither light nor dark. I am the freedom of your expression and the spontaneity that moves you into action. I am the child, I am the parent, I am the sibling, I am the man, I am the woman and my story will be told a thousand times over with a thousand different perspectives and a thousand different voices.
