What do you think this poem is about?

soul seeker (i am that man)

i saw the man
over the rainbow of my eyes
his shadow rendered me
to follow through
to the man's hut
over the shore of my eyes

the man smiled with ease
his eyes ran to my knees
his face came to my toes
but his hands were longer
his voice roared not in anger
softly and tender

the man i saw
were the man i know
and the dream became clearer
when i woke up nearer
to the man i am today
and that man inspires my day

that man is a soul seeker
that seeks a soul by night
and finds a soul by day
to grow and become
the shield to overcome
all matters of living, on my own

i am that soul seeker
whence i seek, the way
of seasons that season
in their own season
amid the rains and dry sun days
but still bloom with effort
