Oh, My God


 


As I wake upon my bed,


Push my way to the day ahead,


I see the aftermath of a home astray


Just like the one where I once played.


 


Driving down the busy highway,


Make my way through crowded streets,


I see the chaos and the whirling,


See the homeless and the hurting.


 


And then I close my eyes,


I feel your arms around my soul,


Sense your bright white flame,


Feel the golden light of love,


Realize you know my name.


 


You speak to me:


“I am the light, I am the day,


I am the night, I am the way,


I am the fruit, I am the tree,


I am you chained, I am you free,


I am all you ever want to be.


 


I am the father, I am the son,


I am the mother, I am one,


I am the bluebird, the hippo too,


I am your joy, your mountain blue,


I am the desert, I am the brook,


I’m the forest, I’m a daffodil,


I’m the lady bug on your windowsill.


I am the winter, I am the spring,


I am alive in every thing.


 


I am your husband; I am your wife,


I am the mother of your life,


I am the ocean, I am the stars,


I am as close as I am far.


I am expansive, I am time,


I am infinite, I am sublime,


I am yours, and you, are mine. 


 


I am the seasons of your life,


I am your peace beneath your strife,


I am your love; I know your loss,


Beneath your turbulence, I bear your cross.


 


I am the wind, I am the sun,


I am your friend, I am The One.


I am the little child in thee,


I am the greatest majesty.


 


I am immense, I am minute,


I am the harp, I am the flute,


I am everything you ever conceive yourself to see,


I am the dream from which your life has come to be.


 


I am the light behind your troubled mind,


I am the answer your questions seek to find,


I am the grass beneath your standing ground,


I am the sweet cool pond, the silent sound.


 


I am the maker of the world and I am truth,


I am the love within your heart and I am proof


That all you ever know and have and feel and hear and see


Will come to you, through you, as me.


I am all the guidance you will ever need,


I am the miracle within the awakening seed.


 


I am the homeless man,


I am the aristocrat,


I am that I am…. I am that…


I Am.”


 


And then, when I open my eyes to thee,


Deep within all that seems to be,


Smiling in peaceful divinity,


Where I am you, and you are me,


Oh my God, I see.

mac,


Thank you for sharing a piece of your soul. It is so difficult to write something and let it go for others' interpretation, at least it is for me. I want so badly for people to understand the emotion behind what I have written. Often it is lost in translation.


Your poem reminds me that amongst my chaos - to let the loving arms of my hp and the program encompass me and love me. It is so beautiful and I could say so much more!


love ya!!

Mac,


Have you ever had a poem submitted?  You have a good grasp of the written word.  It may be something you might want to expand on.

You know I love your spirituality & am so happy we can talk about God...  wow, what a gorgeous poem & elegant way to describe how God is light, dark, everywhere, a dichotomous world full of challenges, the Divine Universe, Creator of all things  & Love of the Highest Order. 


I feel as though I have been Blessed by your friendship the moment you came into the chat room, I will never forget that first day.  Thanks for sharing your "OMG" poem.  You ARE shining brightly.  Thanks for being you


Love, your friend always & sister in recovery, -K
