Creation Saturday: Song of Myself and Humanity

Song of Myself

I am a breath
exhaled from the mouth of God.

I am a leaf
on the Tree of Life.

I am a maidservant
of the All-Merciful.

Poet's Note: ▼

Date Written 13 Baha 159 B.E. This was inspired by meditating on the scriptures revealed by Baha'u'llah.

Humanity

Soul and body merged
into a single sentient life form;
self-aware,
and able to taste
the difference between
blueberry ice cream
and gray gravy.

Self-aware--
conscious of the mystery
that is concealed
within both humanity
and the universe--
not a robotic construction.

Self-aware,
and able to ask
with confidence
the hard questions
that will bring together
the jigsaw of reality.

A self-aware,
soul possessing
sentient life form,
with the mental ability
to look back through history
or forward through time,
while using imagination
and creativity
to create poems
or novels.

Self-aware,
with the mental ability
to discover the DNA
of a colt,
draw up blueprintt
for a garage,
or waste money-time playing
a lottery.

Humanity
a soul possessing
self-aware
sentient life form.
