who am i

who am i

who am i

that life would deem me worthy

worthy of persecution

and crucify me

who am i

that my own brothers

should turn their face from me

deny me

and fear to look upon my brightness

who am i

that men should forever keep

my name upon their lips

speaking undue praises

or dispersions

who am i

that life offers unto my soul

no assistance

that i may find my own way

by way of my own inner light

who am i

that my eye

see but transient evil

as it comes to discern

the Holy in all things

who am i

that the essence of life

the breath of the divine

be mine to enjoy

employ

deploy

all the days

of my journey here

who am i

that this Cosmic Symphony

plays privately

for me

for you

to enhance the consciousness

of our hearts

and give unto us song

that we may dance

who am i

that the children

indulge me

with their innocence

their smiles

and their trust

who am i

i that dreams freely

as i choose

as i walk the path

of my own visions

and my own righteousness

who am i

that comes to know

this ever expanding realm

of the possibilities

of what “Love Is”

and can do,

that love that embraces me

feeds and nourishes me

with a certain sovereign goodness

that i may taste

the sweet fruits

of life’s daily harvests

who am i

who am i

that you would consider

the “i” in me

in thee

who am i
