I Am I am matter transformed to human shape Through light energy to the earth`s landscape I `m fed with food procured from divine light That`s the very essence of human plight I`m expression of divine energy That transcends the physical synergy I am not just a body to be fed But much more I need to unearth instead I`m part of the divine immensity And particle of His eternity I am expression of divine essence A tiny archetype of the quintessence I`m a minute part of the divine light That can be felt but transcends human sight I`m the light lit within my inner self On the virtuous path to lead myself I`m the light that wishes to oust darkness And usher in a realm of happiness I`m the light that wishes to goad others And treat others on level as brothers I am a body endowed with a heart That with needy folks care likes to impart I am the shining light of divine grace And wish human advancement to embrace I`m a river of love and emotions That impact on my human condition I am a vast ocean of feelings With woeful waves that oft send me reeling I`m not just body and feelings, but more And wish to open the mysteries` door I `m a mind ever thinking who I am As without thinking I`d be but a scam I am a mind that I have grasped to rein And ever hold under my sway my brain I `m more than body, emotions and mind That with sincerity I wish to find I`m a soul hurled on earth by the divine To cleanse myself through trials over time I am a grain of sand on the sea shore Knowing not the lives I have lived before I am a soul seeking liberation From the bondage of bodily prison I`m a tiny part of the divine Whole At last to merge with the Whole is my goal My dream is to reach His immensity And fuse in His divine eternity.
