WHO I AM

One fine morning, on a summer day
Up and yawning , with the light of day
Tinges of feeling, oh so slight
Beaming Beaming, with the morning light.

Who am I that wakes this morn?
Who am I that takes a walk?
Who am I that comes to work?
Who am I that lurks?

Walking down the street with not much to do
Places to go but no reason to
Friends to love, but they're not here
Live our life like a can of beer.

Drink some people and they drink you
Shrink some people and they shrink you
Till the day I met you my friend inside
I didn't know myself in the morning light

A phantom would wake like a shadow every morn
Chase its phantom friends all day long
And suffer its happiness and its pain
But I was not there then in the morning rain.

With legs that walk, but I am gliding
With eyes that see but I am everything
With ears that hear, but I am sound
With mind that thinks, round and round.

Cups of juice and oceans of surf
Beds of purple and pillows of down
Hair that is black as the silent raven
Skin as white as fresh linen.

What rationality of yours is good enough for me
What can you feed me from reason's tree
I am the source of your mind
My shadow to me, you are blind.

As you think and chitter chatter
Twitter, tweeter, sing and mutter
As you go high and you go low
As you feel red and you feel blue.

As you run, to work and home
As you talk to friends on the phone
As you eat, sleep, dream and think
As you your sweet drinks drink.

As you my shadow, your phantoms pursue
I AM sitting HERE inside YOU.
I am behind the curtains dark
You see me not, you see me not.

I am here when the rain falls
I am here when the sun shines
I am here when you are suffering hurt
I am here when you feel joy divine.

I am here when the trees are green
I am here when they turn orange
I am here when you think you know
I am here when you reap and sow.

I am here all along
But you see me not,
Alas, you see me not.

 
 

 

Know me my shadow when you walk
As the steam in the road
The road in the fork.

The sounds all around, this I AM
The flight of birds all together.
The waves of the ocean
The red flashing city lights.

I am all around you, everywhere
But you cannot see me still
I am inside you, yet you still don't know
Alas, shadow! Alas my shadow!

Now my constant companion
I'll give you some advice
To speed up your sight
Of your friend divine.

Drink some tea, early in the morning
The steam and the color and the smell so fresh.
Hear the birds outside with the orange sun rays
See the trees, see them sway.

When a child you see, maybe 4 or 5,
Glance my friend, into his eyes.
See his expression, bright and shining
He sees you as you see him.

That's me in him, and me in you
That's who I AM, and I AM YOU.

Now you can choose as you like.
You can choose shadow or light
I live in the dark
Behind your thoughts and feelings
Nothing is known
Yet it's all clear.

In the dark there is infinite light
To shadows light is dark and dark is light.
As you think, and you feel,
And you love and you heal
As you hope and you pray
And you sing and you say

I AM.

That's all, its simple, I AM the Amness in you, the being, the one, who just exists.

Human BEING.

A human, being, Issing....

Is

Means present. Now.

Being Now.
Being Here NOW
HUMAN, BEING, HERE, NOW.
Human being here now,
I just be,
If you can just be
In the midst of doing
Then I will be you and you will be me.
For I am that part of you that simply IS
