All that I am

All that I am
and all that I shall be
is the resounding prescence of the Divine in me

you can take me
or leave me
you can judge what you see
still all that I am
is all that I should be

If I left here tomorrow
you would still only see
that all that I am
is all that I should be

When I wake in the morning
with the light in my eyes
I wake with a wonder of my thin disguise
for all that you see is not as it seems
all that I wake for is only in my dreams

The illusion so fragile
so frought with misconception
when I look in the mirror
and see my own reflection
for all that I am
is all that I should be
that reflection in the mirror
will always be me

Deep beneath the body
deep within the mind
is the loving kind nature of all of mankind

I continue to struggle
to fight the good fight
as I lay in the comfort of the sleep of the night

I wake once again
and what do I find
a body, a spirit
I create in my mind

I drift through the illusion
so familiar to me now
and wonder if I can let go of it
and I wonder how?

Time knows no prescence
Space is infinate in it's whole
and the only thing resounding
is the divinity of my soul

All that I am
and all that I shall be
is the resounding prescense of the Divine in me
