Trey Hamner Poet Rhyme

I Am What We Are

We are both the fool and the sage
In a state of complete calm and total rage
We are the entire book and one page
Thinking we're free inside a cage
We are the darkness and the light
The weakest men with the greatest might
We are blind but with second sight
The blackest black, the whitest white
I am the earthworm and the bird
I am the unwritten, oft spoken word
I am the lost sheep and the whole herd
I am the 1st, I am the last, I'm also the third
I am turbulent and I am still
I am a plateau and I am hill
I am destiny and I am free will
I can empty and I can fulfill

Gershon Wolf July 29, 2020 at 11:13 PM Did I detect a bit of Ayn Rand's 'Anthem' updated in your musings, Trey? Or is 1:10 a.m. in Chicago just too darned late/early to detect anything?! lol. Enjoyed reading this one. Thanks, Gershon
