Therefore I Am

I am a tree.

With ripened fruit.

Much rather would I be a barren tree

flowerless, and fruitless,

for my days wouldn't be filled with the longing to be plucked,

but rather the longing to grow,

and be my greater self.

I am a sea.

Rich with the waters of life.

Much rather would I be waterless,

so as to await the rains that will call my worth.

I am the Sky.

Full of young and elder Sun's.

Much rather would I be empty,

so as to long for the burst of light that will create my children.

I am knowledge.

The all seeking mother of progress.

Much rather would I be Ignorance,

for my longing would be young,

the flowers of life would be of a new fragrance,

and knowing shall be my innermost longing.

I am my self.

much rather would I be you,

for you are witnessing a wandering soul.

You know not of the turbulence within me,

yet you witness my joy, and my love.
