Who I Am
Who I Am
(for Kundalini, the Beloved Within)
The Hindus call me
the serpent of love,
Shiva's own Shakti
by whom
the world is made.
In Africa,
I am "Num."
I bring blessings
and sweet healing.
The Hebrews think of me
as the Shekinah,
and long for my presence.
The Christians term me
the Holy Spirit.
I struck down Paul
on his way to
Damascus.
I entered the room
of the disciples
during the Pentecost
when light blazed over their heads.
In Egypt I am the
magic elixir
poured down
from the gods.
When the Goddess
lived in Greece,
I moved among the dancers.
The shamans embrace me
as they fly to heaven.
of the saints,
the suffering
of the betrayed.
I am inside you,
in every cell and pore.
I am without
in every stone
and star.
No one has seen me
or held me
in their hands.
I am you.
