I AM

I AM

A Poem by Angie
"

Question where you get your sense of identity. Concept from some modern Buddhist philosophies that our ego is separate from our true self. This "poem" is really more of a meditation.

"

Close my eyes…
wait for it…
stillness,
blackness,
sound,
then touch…
I wonder
what these things would be
separate from
color and light
What would they mean…
without identity
or attachment
Maybe these things…
separate from judgment
are not things at all
but
manifestations
of
fear
ego
fulfilling
trinkets
that say…
I am wealthy,
successful,
distinguished
artistic,
proper,
religious,
strong
I am.
But then, in this darkness…  I AM…  still here.

You get your message across clearly in well written free form prose.
The I is immortal and continues on under all and every circumstance
All else must be illusory all that we feel all that we see
are not as they appear to be.Infinite creativity
Allows us all the chance to be whatever we choose to be.
Although it's only temporary I think perhaps you will agree.
That there is much we have to learn before we can return
from whence we came.We have no choice but play the game
