I Am

The moonlit air cool and sweet,
Ocean waves dance at my feet,
Seagulls cry in the sky above,
I am at peace.

Fires burning hot and bright,
Casting deathly, chilling light,
Bodies littered across the ground,
I am at war.

Powerful feelings swelling inside,
Emotions that are impossible to hide,
Her smile caused by a simple act,
I am in love.

Enjoying each breath I can take,
Learning my lessons from all mistakes,
Spending time with those held dear,
I am alive.

Cold, blank, unmoving,
Loved ones in need of soothing,
Nothing can be done,
I am dead.
