I Am

Then he came to you, you knew
Then you went to him, you saw
Now he is gone, do you know who I am?
Now you are here, can you see who I am?

You think love comes, love goes
I tell you, when love comes, I am, when love goes, I am
You think nowhere, somewhere
I tell you, nowhere is where I am, somewhere is where I am.

Then it was light, you knew
Then there was love, you saw
Now in the dark, do you know who I am?
Now you are lost, can you see who I am?

You think, out of darkness into light
I tell you, I am in the darkness, I am light
You think, out of pain into joy
I tell you, I am in the pain, I am joy.

It seems like a lifetime ago. Someone who’d just met me said, “Your dharma is to be a writer.” I laughed it off. Now here I am, not wanting to do much else.
