Self

“I”, at last have reached my goal
And solved the mystery of my Soul
I’ am “That” to which I prayed
“That” to which I looked for aid
I’ am “That” which I did seek
I’ am my own mountains peak

I upon creation look….
As a page from my own book
For the “I”, the “ONE” that many make
Of substance which from “ME” I take
For all is “ME”, there is not two
Creation is “MYSELF”….all through

What “I” grant unto “MYSELF”
“I” take down from my own shelf
And give to “ME”…The only one
For I’ am the “Father” …and the “Son”
And where “I” want, “I” do see…
My own wishes come forth in “ME”
For I’ am the “Knower” and the “Known”
Ruler, subject, and the throne

There is “ONE” is what I’ am
And hell, itself, is but a dam
Which “I” did put in my own stream
When in a nightmare, “I” did dream
That “I” was not the only “ONE”
And thus by “ME” was pain begun
Which ran its course till “I” awoke
And found that “I” with “ME” did joke

So now that “I” do stand awake
“I” my throne do wisely take
And rule my kingdom which is “ME”
A Master through Eternity
