Inspirational Poetry, A New Poem: I Am

I have a body

but I am not my body. I am

the one who makes it move.

What can be moved is not the mover.

I have a body but my body is not me.

I have thoughts

but I am not my thoughts. I am

the one who sees them swirl.

What can be seen is not the seer.

I have thoughts but my thoughts are not me.

I have feelings

but I am not my feelings. I am

the one who feels them feel.

What can be felt is not the feeler.

I have feelings but my feelings are not me.

I have wants

but I am not my wants. I am

the one who knows desire.

What can be known is not the knower.

I have wants but my wants are not me.

I am the one

who moves

who feels

who knows

who sees

I am the one

I have wants

but I am not my wants. I am

the one who knows desire.

What can be known is not the knower.

I have wants but my wants are not me.

I have feelings

but I am not my feelings. I am

the one who feels them feel.

What can be felt is not the feeler.

I have feelings but my feelings are not me.

I have thoughts

but I am not my thoughts. I am

the one who sees them swirl.

What can be seen is not the seer.

I have thoughts but my thoughts are not me.

I have a body

but I am not my body. I am

the one who makes it move.

What can be moved is not the mover.

I have a body but my body is not me.
