“I Am” is a two part personal perspective poem questioning, “Who am I?”. Of course the phrase “I Am” has links and ties to the spiritual and religious world, but this poem deals with two contrasts: one being rather dark and perhaps sinister, while the other is brighter and optimistic, with perhaps elements of realization and enlightenment. I hope that something in this poem triggers an awareness or realization within you.
I Am (Dark)
I am a soul who sometimes does not know
the sorrow and hatred that I allow to grow.
I am a being who cannot see
the face of prejudice that I have within me.
I am a man who will not know
until I realize the faults within my being which I sow.
I Am (Light)
I am but an eagle in flight
spreading my wings so as to absorb the complexities of life.
I am a soul that questions its plight
Dispositional, at times overwhelmed, but determined to overcome my fright.
I am a flower in a garden, in the morning light
the dew upon my petals still, enveloped in illuminating visions of transcendence and insight.
