untitled/3

i am no idol
i am no ideal
i am more than expectation
i am sunshine burning miracle child of star promise
i am mystical and hypnotic, other worldly
i am shaman
i am of family
i am of stretching willingness
i am of patient understanding
i am not perfect
i am alive, knowing sometimes, all the time, all i can do is keep breathing
i am consumer
i am more than the last conversation
i am by, for and with myself
i am working on self-care, self-awareness, self-strength
i am climbing everyday
i am on a bicycle
i am behind a computer, checking email
i am trying
i am listening to requests, wants, needs, hopes
i am navigating through contradictions
i am zanmi, zanmi, zanmi, zanmi. Friend.
i am trying
i am rising and breaking like blossom
i am nothing much
i am along the continuum, snailing along the arc
i am ebb and flow
i am standing in the ocean of it all, landlocked
i am wishing, hoping, sweating in prayer
i am remembering to give thanks
i am wondering where is there no earthquake, no tremor ,... the desiderata?!
i am trying to understand you
i am pulled and pushed by forces beyond my control
i am in very little control
i am listening to Nina, Ani, Tracy, Billie, Asalah
i am part Ayisen, Senegalese, anglais, Lebanese, blowing around the world like a breeze
i am stories
i am humbled
i am writing (again)
i am in need of return
i am remembering constant care and consideration
i am anticipating a later arrival
i am searching and attempting discovery
i am invoking spirits: Gibran, Lorde, Rilke, Ginsberg, Malcolm, 2Pac, Nina... Nina...
i am whatever, it does not matter
i am casting visions and believing in recreation, regeneration

i am containing multitudes---

i am asking,
who are You?
