A Walk In My Woods

I am a small path in the woods,
Stretching infinitely in both directions,
Forever in the future and the past.
I am a tower,
Reaching towards the sun.
I am a mighty oak,
Remaining tall and strong.
I have firm roots,
But lofty branches.
I am a river,
Crashing and surging,
Constantly moving,
Yet calm and peaceful.
I am the moon,
Waxing and waning,
Shining in its own way.
I am the paper and the pen,
Where honestly flows,
And secrets are held.
I am everything,
And I am nothing.
I am all the intricate pieces of myself,
Yet just a piece to the puzzle.

Even though there is no rhyme scheme, this poem flows very nicely.  This is hard to do, but you managed to pull it off nearly flawlessly.  The part that I like most about this poem is that I can't figure out the meaning of it.  I can't tell whether you are writing from a supernatural power's perspective, or whether you are actually writing from your own perspective and using all of the metaphors symbolically...hmmmm...anyways, well done!

This was very intresting. I think maybe it could have had a better name, such as 'Intricatley Complicated' or something.
