Yet motionless calm
I am the petals of the blossom (this is OK, but this stanza doesn't do much for me )
And winter’s kiss to spring
I am a carefree child's perception (I am a carefree child)
I see wonder in everything (seeing wonder everywhere)
I am a waking moment of clarity (I am a clear, waking moment)
In a barren dreamless night
I am faith beyond religion
Not an ideal of wrong or right (idea? ideal?) (I see no wrong or right)
I am blind to race and creed
And need to make this clear (don't like this line so much - I am assuming the "I AM" would not need to make anything clear - ??)
Your hate will not deter me (desire instead of hate? the usual Buddhist polarity is desire and fear, though I may be reading you wrong)
Nor will you bind me with your fear
Because I am love
And I Am sent me (I would say I AM, as this is usually the way it is written) though this is a bit incongruent to me, as I am love and I AM would be the same thing???? I realize the semantics are impossible - could you just leave out these last two lines and say:
"Nor will you bind me with your fear
Because I AM"
It is still a bit clumsy.
I like to read things aloud and see how they flow - thanks for posting.
Original
I am unbinding movement
Yet motionless calm
I am the petals of the blossom
And winter’s kiss to spring
I am a carefree child's perception
I see wonder in everything
I am a waking moment of clarity
In a barren dreamless night
I am faith beyond religion
Not an ideal of wrong or right
I am blind to race and creed
And need to make this clear
I am not here to discuss this
You will lose
Because I am love
And I am sent me
