I am You
I love this photo by Scott London:
Say I am You
I am dust particles in sunlight.
I am the round sun.To the bits of the dust I say, Stay.
To the sun, keep moving.I am morning mist,
and the breath of evening.I am wind in the top of a grove,
and surf on the cliff.Mast, rudder, healsmen, and keel,
I am also the corral reef they founder on.I am a tree with a trained parrot in it’s branches.
Silence, thought, and voice.The musical air coming through a flute,
a spark of a stone, a flickeringin metal. Both candle,
and the moth crazy around it.Rose, and the nightingale
lost in the fragrance.I am all orders of being, the circling galaxy,
the evolutionary intelligence, the lift,and the falling away. What is,
And what isn’t. You who knowJelaluddin, You the one
in all, who sayI am. Say I
am You.

Dear Sybil -
Just a heads up to let you know about a new mystical poet: Morgan Kalani MacLean.
Here is the website should you be interested:

Should you have 5 minutes to unwind, one of Morgan’s friends also put together a video of verse to music which is being well received :
