ME, I AM


A dear friend once asked me to describe myself, my passion and place in the world...

At that time I couldn't formulate a meaningful answer other than "I am", and though this seemed to satisfy the moment, I have had much time, years, to think on it...

I am. I am the scribe of my belief in my story in the present, the now of our breathing story. I am a scribe that I might sense the story's movement within the center of Love and Peace.

I am Love, Peace and Laughter and I am Freedom and Goodness that I might salvage the truth beneath my feet and before me.

I am the Love and Peace gardener, so to speak, the scribe of my physical and spiritual experience.

I am. My story is yours and your story is mine. I am. We are. One.

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

            PER+PLEX-ED When you haven’t heard the truth in so long, when you do, it rings a most familiar s ong. That’s the human song, the truth rolling out exactly when it should.      (If a truth is told and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound only to the one that spoke it?)    Yes, but our ears aren’t strong enough to hear it.     [a perplexed silence] © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
