Notes About The Poem

Line of inquiry:
--------------------------------------
“a heartbeat pulsating as living light
free from each and every limitation
I Am that dwelling in unbound delight
the source wherefrom arises creation”.... Unseeking Seeker
--------------------------------------

Listen to poem:

I Am That I Am

Big Bang
Is, sublime
First Kiss
Dawn breaks
Match struck
Thunder claps
Alpha, Yahweh
Time; it's Time
Baby bird flies
Baby born, cries
Let there be; I am, I be
Inception - thought stirs 
Drip drops on water, ripples
Before was, before when; where
Number One, not a prime; a seed
Word made sound; silence broken
Nothing; begets something
Question AND/OR Answer
Light out of darkness
Eyes open: I am here
Name without a name
Cause without cause
First breath drawn
Before beginnings
Need beyond need
Voice of Silence
Fire in the bush
End without an End
Word is spoken
I am.....that.....I am

Alison A Smith nee Howarth August 22, 2026 at 10:32 PM What a profound and sweeping exploration of existence and origins. You’ve beautifully captured the raw energy of creation by weaving together cosmic events like the "Big Bang" with intimate miracles like a "First breath drawn." The staccato rhythm feels exactly like those initial sparks of life, building perfectly to that powerful final declaration. A truly moving and inspiring piece!
