| I,
Jim..... I have been a white dove I have been a wild bronco I have been a soaring eagle I have been a cautious stag I have been a rock on the mountain a grain of sand on the ocean shore and a clump of earth on a shovel, I have been an arrow from the bow of a hand a thread through the eye of a needle a stallion in stud a bull in anger a falcon in prey and the roar of a lion, a seed in the sprouting. I have been a thief in the shadows a liar in waiting a prisoner in darkness a murderer of my spirit and body. living with guilt living with anger living in denial living with compassion to others relentless with no compassion to myself without mercy to my heart I have been dead I have been alive living among the unforgiven walking aside those souls lost I have seen the color of despair blindly with only my ears with nothing more than a shallow stare. I have been forgiven asI am a forgiving spirit for I am filled with love I am squall on Ocean I am Tempest on Shore I am Bull of Seven Fights I am the Eagle on Mountain I am Lone as Coyote I am Kobii in Water I am Word of Testament I am the Center of a Weapon I am Mirror of your Reflection I am a spirit of joy for it is in forgiving & loving that I find peace beauty is judged by what I feel by what I hear. my touch is sensitive to what's left to be. I have seen the color of judgmental ways of those who can't see perfection of blindly ways. I am a wandering dragon seeking my domain living in a primal world I am far from this modern world that's so complicated I am better this way a strange man safer from things I know that sanity will show. I can feel the beauty I enslave while others question my primal ways. I am my Dingo's soul hunting and finding warmth in companionship and protection, intuitively tracking and finding truth of my reborn human soul; while keeping my loyalty to those within my den in understanding my silence. in fear and watchfulness, in the search for food, dominating behaviour, in battle & strife, in the pleasure of love with my strength coming from fire feeling the abundance of strength in joy upholding the code of chivalry I am all heart with strengthened will for I am my Dingo's soul. I am one image of my Creator in a continual state of becoming of disappearing welcoming death because in consumption being consumed by creatures of a higher order the metabolism of the universe is perpetrated into a higher state of consciouness I am within my creator I am a catalyst of love I am who I am Nothing more, nothing less Not who someone else desires me to be as I am who I am for I am Jim. I am Jim the Triumphant for I am....... Jim Thurman, 1989 - 2007 |
