This I Am Is Yours.

This I Am Is Yours

One day something happens

and the world turns sweet inside your eye.

You have been on a runaway train,

that’s been screaming like a banshee trying to derail,

then suddenly

you are on a bus full of sunshine

and you are sight-seeing

and the view is all You passing by.

God has laid down an Ace

and the pot is all yours!

You have just won first prize

in a beauty contest

and though you may be no spring chicken

you are a rooster that starts to crow

like a tipsy nightingale,

and what you say and do

turns out to be good news for everyone.

Something happened -

You had been eating a bad pistachio nut,

and your original features

were obscured with a prune faced puckering

that used to frighten the daylights out of angels.

Now you suck on a breast

that turns you into milk,

or a human wine-list for drunks.

The big clock in your soul

just struck its bewitching hour

and your carriage turned into a pumpkin

fit to serve up as a very nice dessert.

Your heart just turns into a loving spoon

that keeps feeding you with candy

from a chocolate box brought from heavens gate.

And I must tell you,

that though you may think

that you have missed the bus

this bus contains all of us

and it never runs late

but arrives full of us nuts together.

Whether you believe this or not,

won’t make any difference.

We all arrive on time

full of old wives tales.

Crazy dreams

that have turned into Gods laughter.

And what we have sought after

jumps out of our skin

like a new birthday suit.

Saying: This I Am is Yours.

love

eric
