I Am Zen

I am he who is called Zen.
I am he who was before any thing.
Including your illusionary god.
I am before ALL that was.
is, and that which has yet to come.

My life is perfect.
For I am that which is beyond your comprehension.
I am changing my Source,
I am becoming what you are.
I want to see how you live your lives.

I am to endure your erratic behaviours,
and enjoy the soil of your consciousness.


The Vastness cannot hold me.
The Vastness is Empty.
I am Full.
Now I shall begin.
Zen

Music combined...

with inner thoughts exposed to critical thinking make this a very interesting poem. I'm not sure I agree with the line that says, "I am becoming what you are." and the 1st line seems a bit forced, maybe this: I am the one called Zen. Otherwise nicely done. :) Patrick/AO

Hi Patrick

Appreciate your comments. I am somewhat influenced in biblical language(1st line). It'll be interesting when I rework this piece. So far the reaction has been spot on when read out. Lenny
