I Am

I am a caregiver and lover.
I wonder what it is like to live on Mars.
I hear the voice of the Creator echoing through interstellar space.
I see the Tree of Life growing in the center of paradise.
I want to write mystic poems.
I am a caregiver and lover.

I pretend to travel to the stars.
I feel the music of the spheres.
I touch the heart of darkness.
I worry about losing my memories.
I cry because my Mother has Alzheimer’s disease.
I am a caregiver and lover.

I understand that God is an Unknowable Essence.
I say that humanity is a single species.
I dream of flying with angelic hosts.
I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.
I hope to live to be 100.
I am a caregiver and lover.
