| SAY
I AM YOU |
| |
|
I am dust particles
in sunlight. |
|
I am the round sun. |
| |
|
|
To the bits of dust
I say, Stay. |
|
To the sun, Keep
moving. |
|
|
|
I am morning mist, |
| |
and the breathing of evening. |
|
|
|
I am wind in the
top of a grove, |
|
and surf on the cliff. |
|
|
| |
Mast, rudder, helmsman, and keel, |
|
I am also the coral
reef they founder on. |
|
|
|
I am a tree with
a trained parrot in its branches. |
|
Silence, thought,
and voice. |
| |
|
|
The musical air coming
through a flute, |
|
a spark of a stone,
a flickering |
|
|
|
in metal. Both candle, |
| |
and the moth crazy around it. |
|
|
|
Rose, and the nightingale |
|
lost in the fragrance. |
|
|
|
I am all orders of
being, the circling galaxy, |
|
the evolutionary
intelligence, the lift, |
|
|
|
and the falling away.
What is, |
|
and what isn’t. You
who know |
|
|
|
Jelaluddin, You the
one |
|
in all, say who |
|
|
|
I am. Say I |
|
am You. |
