I AM – a poem

Let’s start the New Year off with a spiritual poem. Happy 2025! I hope you like my poem: I AM.

By N M Sirett

I AM

Allow me to introduce myself

I am the toll of the bell

The berry on the branch

The reptile in the sea

And the jewel in the mountain

I am dusk and I am dawn

I live and breathe in the very air

The ozone

The trees

I am in the stars

I am the cosmos

I am in you

I AM

And I am you

And him

And her

That and this

For I am in everything and I am with all of you all the time

I am the omnipresent

The one who comes to set you free

I am the blossom that floats on unseen channels and drifts slowly into the hearts and minds of every being

I am a thought

A spark

An idea

A flowing spring that bubbles and stirs near the volcano’s edge

I am crisp

Light

Air

Over a mountain range

I am birdsong hidden in the trees

The ripening tune of dawn

I am everywhere and nowhere

I am never alone

You are always with me

We are one

No matter how many times you run or hide 

I will find you

For there is no place for you to go where I cannot see you

Feel you

Think you

Be you

You are mine

I am always yours

I am the perfect dream that lasts for ever – entrenched in your heart

Your friend, your guide, your perfect love, your deepest, kindest aspirations, your humanity

I am peace

I will never let you go 

I will stare into your eyes

Into the depths of your soul

And

KNOW YOU

For I will never let you down

I will never destroy you

Nor will I watch you come undone or walk away 

I will never desert you 

I will never force you

Interfere

But just call upon me and I will comfort you

Keep you warm and safe

In an imperfect in-perfect world

Its design

Perfect

I am the easel in which you paint a masterpiece

And master peace

I am ultimate

I am friend

I am love

And you are

I AM
