I Forget Myself

As thunder crawls under my skin

As lightning sparks upon my nerves

As the rain falls from my eyes

I see you, and

I forget myself

Your delicate edges

Your delightful hue

Your daring disposition

I see you, and

I want myself

I desire to be a softness upon which the world can sit,

and calm its chaos, as you do mine

I wish to be a rainbow upon which the world can smile,

and regain hope, as you do for me

I dream to be brave, upon which the world can stand,

and find courage, as you find in me

I see you, and

I forget myself

I want myself

I am myself

Sam Osbiston

Sam Osbiston is a poet, photographer and experimental artist inspired by nature, and her own personal experiences, together with her passion for peoples treasures and the stories they share with her. Sam hopes her work encourages others to learn more about their environment and the creatures who live along side them, how creativity can enhance their everyday well-being and why noticing the world around you is the best gift for self and planet. She is happiest immersed in nature, but rather likes a cosy blanket by the fire, with a brew in hand too.
