I Am

I am not the name I'm called in this life
nor am I what you think you see
I am something that existed way before
the world you know came to be
I am the seed of the tree we know as the father
that created both heaven & the hells
I am a child of a mother that gave birth 
to a spirit clothed in an earthly shell
I am the embodiment of what is known as eternity
so, I'll exist forevermore 
I am forever a sailor on the seas of fluid life
searching for brighter sandy shores
I am what's seen when eyes are closed for the night
as you search for this lifes newest dream
I am a dream that you're having & know it not
for you're lost in the world that is seen
I am literally everything you've ever known 
mirroring hidden versions of yourself
I am seen in & by your eyes everywhere
as everything is a reflection of ourselves
