Yet I Am Not
I am not yet I am
a leaf on the tree
and the forest itself
a grain of sand on the beach
And the whole of the beach
a wave on the ocean
And all of the seas
the earth and the stars
And as they move
and sing in the heavens
I can move with them
But only when I realize…
I am and yet I am not
