I am
by S. Viddaurri

you say you love me but you won't let me be
freely
who i am truly
emotions unruly
foolishly, i trust
watch love turn to dust
love is not born of lust
you think it's me you know of but no, you don't know my love
you don't see me, i am the tree, rooted deep, my place, all mine to keep,
i recognize with my own eyes who i am. you don't need to understand.
your sight rests in the world of man
me, i am that sea under me, the tree
i am universal spirituality
i am the powers that be
created equally
undividedly
just let go of society
on this road that i have taken, somewhere i have been awakened
i am amazed where i have come, where i'm going, where i'm from
walk together the path of destiny,
teaching from the best of me, learning for the rest of me.
it may not be the path you thought, you may end up in a place not sought,
this is just the fate you caught, this is the dream this life bought us
why fuss?
why fight?
wrong or right?
who's to say?
who makes the way?
choice?
chance?
circumstance?
where do we come in?
why do we always have to win?
to know goodness, we must know sin
what happens then?
all is forgiven
nothing is forbidden
it may seem strange
unreal
this is how i feel
this wounded spirit must heal
it's the confusion of the illusion that makes me weep
it's the infusion of the using of love that makes me lose sleep
i am the ocean. love is the sun. the humidity is us as one
not sacrifice,
find advice,
living lies,
a dying life
i'm not a possesion nor a passion, it seems,
obligation is set on a worldly dream
walk your own dream. what do i mean?
walking a dream?
the vision of the future past
the vison recognized at last
the vision of that inner land
love is my talisman
there is no fear in me
with closed eyes, i truly see
everything seems so far, but in my hand i hold a star
and now i know for knowledge is mine, i am space. i am time.
