Interbeing - I am



I am the cosmos.
As the sun rises and the moon does hide…
The birds fly and the fish swim deeply…
The lion protects the forest, and the stars collide.
I am the universe.
As the book guides and the pen creates the stories.
As the foes fall and the soldiers celebrate their glories.

I am the man.
As trees dance with the mountains at night.
As a man faces the dragon and becomes a knight.
I am the woman.
As a mother loves and protects her child.
As an elephant is wise and wild.

I am the flower.
As the clock is counting each hour.
As the fire burns, the ashes are born.
I am the mountain.
As the river gets lost in the salty water.
As the green grass walks in spring softer.

I am the boy.
As the poor child who plays with his broken toy.
As the naïve girl who loves behind the door.
I am the girl.
As the light never touched the darkness before.
As the candle never caressed the magic before.
