I Am

Being who I am
			It appears that I am ...


A thinker cogito ergo sum
        A Feeler therefore I am more
                A searcher carpe diem
	                 A collector of oriental carpets
                                 A bookworm devouring pages
	                                 A listener ready to hear

		
		                         Father of five
	                        Husband once more
		       Lover of one
	        Soulmate of the same
	Jokester and jester
Serious clown


			                                A crazy insane one
				                A depressed patient
			                An impatient sufferer
				A healer retired
			A doctor of mind
                A lost one found again


                Of harmony
	                 In peace
		                Doubting
			                Full of faith
				                Introvert hermit
					                  Extrovert human



I am all in one               I am all in one            I am all in one

Body Mind Soul              Soul Mind Body          Mind Body Soul 
         

		                                Don’t fit in a box
					Jo-Jo out of control
				Slingshot on target
			An outcome detached
		A promise fulfilled
	Destiny in the making


I am addicted to life as it comes
	Used to imbibe 
		Cleaned up my act
			One step at a time
				My life is no race
					Its progress beats perfection


I know that I know nothing fully
	Of that I am sure and thus safe
		A philosopher of sort
			Traveling gypsy on a road
				To somewhere
					To nowhere

                                        With my attributes on a button I’m crowded
	                        Never alone
                        Blissfully loved
                  Embraced for ever	
        A companion
A poet tree in motion

This is such a layered depiction of who you are and probably one of the finest I have seen till now. Every layer leads to different directions yet the ideas converge towards the end. Beautiful! :)

Thank you so much Michelle. At first I did not want to write a list poem. I am glad that I did though. It is good not to always stray on the same path. Kind wishes, Kai
