I AM
The whole catastrophe
The auspicious promise within its
Womb of serendipity
The dismembered corpse of the donor
The gift unwrapped and presented
The second chance for the soul with cirrhosis
The woman raped by pirates
The legacy turned Gospel
Her bastard child destined to become a king
The wall built from fear
The storm that blew it down
The solidarity grown from its rain of pain
All of creation
Breathing
Moving
Feeling
In chaotic synchronicity
In this instance of eternity
One breath
The inhale pause and exhale
The caterpillar chrysalis and butterfly
The man the woman the child
Beautiful in unbecoming
Promising in becoming
The bittersweet realization of impermanence
That sets aflame in our hearts
The audacity for hope
