Nam Sa

Nam Sa

How am I both?
The raging fire
of passion and longing
The quenching torrent
of peace and of rest

I am the storm
that tears the branches
I am the breeze
that tickles the leaves
I am the ocean
that carves out wild caverns
I am the rain drops
that wet autumn sheathes

I am love's anguish
I am hope's pain
A world torn asunder
With infinite strain

As light is to darkness
As sun is to moon
Eternally separate
Of ether both hewn

Of ether both hewn
Created in oneness
The sun as our brother
Our sister the moon

I'm slave to the muse
And I'm freed by her love
Held hostage by longing
Free soaring in peace

Nam Sa, I am that
Eternally One
Forever existing
In opposites one

I have been
I will be
I am
That
