I Am by Marjorie Engcoy

I dance the song of creatures far and wide I sing the song of the Voice, of the Great I Am.

I AM

I blow into you in my coolness

I am the mystery you breathe in freshness

Gentle push to your sails to arrive at your destination

Yes, I am wind, that provides the eagle freedom.

 

I embrace you in my warmth

Igniting inspiration and passion into your soul longing

Set your spirit ablaze to give you light in the dark

Yes, I am fire, the spirit that only needs a spark.

 

I cradle you in my bosom

My children grow to sustain you in your lifetime

While you dance into your years above the shaking grounds

Yes, I am earth, where you’ll retire when your song fades.

 

I am that bathe you life

Through my springs and rivers, oceans and seas

Through your veins I flow to the depths of your soul

Yes, I am water, stillness and gentleness I, too, pour.

 

I am the spirit

Brought to life and given life

I dance the song of creatures far and wide

I sing the song of the Voice, of the Great I Am.

 I am
