I Am

This is a day touched by revelation

 

 I Am

 

 

“I Am is here,” a voice said to me one day

As I was sitting

Just sitting and thinking to myself

 

I looked around to see who was speaking

The search was empty

I was alone

Alone just sitting

Sitting and thinking to myself

 

“I Am is here,” the voice said again

This time I thought I was losing it

 

“Shalonda, I Am is here.”

That time I heard my name

And for a minute I stopped thinking and just

Listened

 

“I Am your protector from the fiery darts

No weapon.”

No weapon the voice had said

“That is form against you shall prosper because I Am

I Am is here.”

 

“I Am your heart mender I’ll fix what is broken

I’ll complete what is incomplete

With me you can be whole because I Am

I Am is here.”

 

By this time I was in tears

For I had realized that it was Him

My Father, My Everything

He had spoken-  To me-

And just when I thought He was done

He spoke-  To me-  Again

 

“I Am the love of your life

Whoever I send to you will have to resemble

My true LOVE for you

You will have Joy

You will have what you ask because I Am

I Am is here.”

 

“I Am your favor there is nothing you can’t have

When your mind is on my will I will cause miracles to happen in your life

You will not need   -because I Am

I Am is here.”

 

“Oh! Father Thank you,” I parted my lips-  but- He hushed me

He was not yet finished speaking

I had to obey and just   -Listen

 

“I Am your prosperity   -Lack is no more

You plant  -I’ll grow  -You’ll reap

Your hour of not enough is over because I Am

I Am is here.”

 

“I Am the Light  -Because you know me  -You now see

Where I’ve brought you from  -Where you are-

And   -Where you’re going is a place for the obedient- 

And  -You will make it with Me because I Am

I Am will always be with you.”

 

Now by this time I’m no more good   -Tears are flowing   -Heart is pounding

Joy is spilling out all over

Because He spoke  -To me-

Because He loves  -Me

All I could do was fall

On my face

And say  -“Thank you, I Am,

For being   -I Am   -To Me.”

As someone who works in both the spiritual and creative arts i appreciate the sentiments in this piece. It is a testament to the fact that love transcends death. I am touched by the beauty of your words and am a better man for having read this.

Know that "You Are" and all are blessed who discover your words and the beauty of your soul.

First,
My Queen I have to say that I was chilled when I read the title and the first line.
I thought okay-turn the TV off for this one...
I remember my own personal moments that were almost identical to this TREASURED moment.
It is difficult to talk about and share with some, but you managed to maintain its beauty
and awe in a musical poetic form. (I truly thank you for that)
While reading this sitting in my office at my desk I have peered out the window that sits in front of me and
the sky as been gray and cloudy-all day...but while reading this I could feel the truth of the write and
the sun broke through the clouds and it was like HE winked at me (my interpretation). I love, love, loved
this from beginning to end. One small typo-and this is flawless...

"That is form against you shall prosper because I Am
I Am is here."----->I think that you meant 'formed'.

This reminds me of one of my favorite pieces that I just might post now...;-D
Thanks again for this wonderful read.
