    I am here


    I am here

    I am that cabin, nestled deep in the tall woods
    with the solid, heavy door that opens only once.

    I am the cool blue stream that flows only paces from the door,
    and whispers to the rich, soft earth "I pass you by, and yet I stay."

    I am the tree that shades the eye,
    and gives music to the wind.
    And I am the grass that weeps for the morning fog, at break of day.

    She is here.

    I stand tall for her, and give her shelter from the night
    I shade her eyes by day, when the sun is praying to the sky

    I give her drink, and the warmth she needs as best I know.
    When it rains she comes to me.
    Yes, she comes to me.

    I take her in, where she is safe and warm.
    I give her what I can.
    I am here.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
