I Have
Such a
Teacher
Only
Breath
In the
Arc of
Your
Mallet
Come to
the or-
chard in
Spring
Say I
Am You
 
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.
