I Am

I am just a wisp of
yesterday's echo adrift
upon a restless wind.
I am but a dream, perhaps
thought forgotten, lingering
on the edge of remembrance.
I am a shadow left by the sun
and a splash of light
beneath the moon.
I am just a thought, maybe words
of a favorite song, pages turned
in the book of life, a touch of sky,
breath of night, dew of morning,
and a teardrop found on a windowsill.

Yes, I am just a wisp in time,
a tiny piece of the universe,

and I matter...

simply because... I am!
