I Am Poem by Rishi Menon

I Am

Rating: 5.0


I am not a Christian
I am no Muslim
I am not a Jew
Nor am I Buddhist

I am not a Man
Nor am I Woman
I am not a Plant
Nor Animal

I am not just here
Nor there alone
I am not in something
Nor around

I am not Sound
Nor am I Silent
I am not the Light
Nor am I darkness

I am not Air
Nor am I Fire
I am not the Earth
Nor am I Water

I am not God
I am not the Devil
Not the Good
Nor am I evil

I've no leanings
No boundaries
I'm a force that drives
The sun and stars alike

I am the music in the lute
The strength of the blue whale
Majesty of the mountains
and expanse of the oceans

I am you, you are me
I need you, you need me
I am all, I am everything
Aham Brahmasmi

I am Life.

Ash (Rishi's Dad)
