Mystic Rose Rose Poet Free verse

The Ocean In Me Greets the Ocean In Him

Quote by: Rumi 
(You are not a drop in the ocean but an entire ocean in one drop)


Beaten and whipped scoured and wrung like a dish cloth 
am I 
inside this night gown the sweat and grime of a lifetime 
am I ? 
Fish or woman master or slave of my own self 
am I 
good or bad demon or saint I don't really know who 
I am 
Then he sings to me a song I knew from my childhood 
" The I Am "    song....
and suddenly, I'm fire, I'm host and all of the above 
I am a child hungry to eat his word and drink His love 
I am His and He is mine 
Together we are...
