Tho's a tree be as equal as me; <br /> As it keeps "tranquilities" consistency; <br /> It be more than me. <br /> I am, I am, more than a bird <br /> Yet a bird has wings to soar; <br /> In tranquil delight; <br /> More than me, indeed he be, more than me. <br /> More than a breeze, a fleeting cloud; <br /> More than the all by the added mold; <br /> Called intelligence, yet be not whole; <br /> 'Til I grasp in the stillness perfect sight! <br /> This school called ignorance with consequence; <br /> Or humanly blind inside and outside; <br /> Control or controlled like a pillar stands; <br /> More than a mountain, rainbows arch. <br /> Lo, and behold a kind hands touch' <br /> Perceived now broadens living sparks; <br /> A vehicle I be sighted instantaneously; <br /> While being used through divinity. <br /> Controlled into freedoms' priority; <br /> Soaring flamed in the "we are"; <br /> Receiving abundant gracious love; <br /> In fullness clothed in our house from heaven be! <br /> We be, we be, more than a mountain's peak; <br /> Where clouds help it play hide and seek; <br /> As sun peeps through blue skies; <br /> In shaded hues, indeed they be more than we! <br /> We be, we be, more than the oceans roar; <br /> Through crested waves seas colors interplay; <br /> Splendored in its masquerade; <br /> Indeed, indeed, they be more than we! <br /> We be, we be, part of this mystery; <br /> 'Til ignited in Christhood's glee; <br /> Perceiving we be me with he and she; <br /> Comes equality caressed in "Living Peace!"<br /><br />Esther Miles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-i-am-more-than-a-tree/
