No more no less

I am
No more, no less than you.
I am neither above you
nor below you.
I came neither before
or after you.
I am always around.
I can be known
I can be found.
But I was never lost.
I am free and unbound.
It is because of this,
you are able.
That is the way,
you have apparently become
what you think you are.
Belief like a leaf
Its a thief, that creates
life out of light.
I am not temporary,
all beliefs, most certainly are.
You are not just,
what you think you are.

Thanks! Beautiful!
and this one at least I grasp in full, compared to a few other ones you published recently.

Your style reminds me so much of Rumi, which is meant as a compliment. Maybe in a few hundred or thousand years, your poems will be known to all as are Rumi's are now : )

Thoughts, beliefs, concepts. Useless baggie we like to identify with and by doing that we miss the chance to grasp what is and what we are. Although it is not easy to separate thoughts from what is and I still have not figured out exactly the correct method for me to let go completely, but I think I am getting there. Sometimes I am amazed when I get just a few crumbs of this during meditation. So for now just learning to let go and accepting all as is. Any poems about that : ) ?

I always enjoy your threads.

"O Hidden Life, vibrant in every atom;
O Hidden Light, shining in every creature;
O Hidden Love, embracing all in Oneness;
May all who feel themselves as One with Thee,
Know they are therefore one with every other."

- Annie Besant



I feel as though your poems are rooted in such unity of spirit. Life, Light, Love, One

I, the "other You", enjoyed that from You, the "other Me"...

Thanks for all of your extremely positive replies, I appreciate them so much as it means that in some way or other they serve as beneficial. If I reach even just one person with these words I am contented. a reply to: ancientthunder
