You give me eyes to see the vast beauty but not the eyes to see you. DECEIVER!
You give me the sense of touch to feel the love that you create but still cannot touch you. DECEIVER!
You give me nose and tongue to taste and smell yet cannot taste or smell you. DECEIVER!
You give me ears to hear beautiful melodies, yet I hear your song and know not the lips it came. DECEIVER
You give yourself a name but I still do not know you. DECEIVER!
You give me understanding of God, yet I still do not know you or God. DECEIVER!
I feel your presence in the dark as I reach out to touch, hear, smell, see and taste you all but in vain. YOU CONTINUE TO DECEIVE ME! DECEIVER!
I love and worship you, buy you clothes, give you name, give you money, give you the connection of flesh and still you do not reveal yourself to me. DECEIVER!
Who am I that you have created to want to know who you are, why do you give me this need to know without an answer? DECEIVER!
Who am I? Who am I? DECEIVER!
Who is I?
I have a name.
Who is the I that has this name?
Are you this I, DECEIVER?
Is that why I may never touch, smell, taste, see or hear you? deceiver…
Are you really a deceiver? For I know I am but I still cannot see myself without the need of a reflection but I know I am real.
I cannot smell myself unless I smell the stench of odor
I can only hear when I speak but not know my lips without the sight of them
I can see much beauty but not the beauty of myself
My tongue can taste the sweet of air but not itself
I am the deceiver…deceived no more. |
