Lamentation and Exultation
I am spirit
Though not pre-conceived;
I was conceived; and pro-created;
I contained knowledge, and
I was known
I did experience,
and I remembered; but
I was then birthed, and
I became human; so
I was mother’d;
I was mis-guided;
I was injured,
I was mis-judged; and
I was so scarred
I became ignorant;
I became blind
I forgot experience;
I became animal
I fell asleep and
I became unknown;
I too conceived; and
I pro-created
He too was spirit
He too contained knowledge;
I birthed him ignorance
He too was experienced;
He too remembered
I was the witness; but
I was still blind’d
I was still sleeping;
I then mother’d, and
he became human,
I then mis-guided,
I then injured,
I then mis-judged
I then so scarred;
I saw the death of one dear before me;
and then,
I remembered;
I was re-wakened,
I became un-blind’d;
I sought my [lost] knowing
I reclaimed my experience;
I forgave the mis-guidance
I so sought forgiveness;
I forgave the mis-understanding
I so sought forgiveness;
I forgave the injury
I so sought forgiveness;
I understood ignorance, and
I so sought re-knowing:
Those who are born are meant to be born;
Some who are born, though, choose to be born;
Most who are born though, have no choice to be born;
Most who are unborn; are not meant to be born
Not meant for this time; not meant for this World;
Those who have birthed, those who have fathered, have re-pro-created error;
Still there are Those who were sung into exIStence
Those are the Ones who chose to be born;
Now those who were birthed, not sung into existence, must will to re-member,
must choose to re-birth, to become re-known;
I re-membered mySelf, re-birthed mySelf
Now,
I am beginning to become re-Known.
