IF I AM

Michael Edwards

 

 

IF I AM

 

 

If I’m not

and haven’t been

I never ever will be

 

I could be now

I could be soon

and if I am you’ll see me

 

I wasn’t once

and now I am

but when I’m dead I won’t be.

    You have got my mind working in this riddle poem Michael. I love these puzzles. Such a good way to keep a poem in head until solved. Well done my friend. A fave

        Off the top of my head Michael the first thing that hit was hope but then I thought of love but but that has its problems too. I'll keep thinking

        A dark write, Michael. But that watercolor will be.

        Michael, there’s something deceptively simple here that carries real weight. The movement through time, especially that central turn, gives it a quiet punch. It reads light, but it lingers. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

          Actually I think i must be getting more simple in old age - I don't understand it myself.

          But if you are
          You will always be
          And will never stray

          It is now
          And will never stop
          So I will see you

          You are now
          And and are here
          But death brings a new start

          Love it!
