Array ( [sid] => 20547 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => i am small [time] => 2003-07-16 23:45:00 [hometext] => Did you ever stop and think about it?
Such a tiny, but marvelous thing really. [bodytext] => i am small
r. dafremen

i am small
i see you there
and could have it all
something divine
like ginger wine
in a cup formed of my hands
too sweet to let it go
too magical to know
too illogical to understand
that all man makes is holy
all that man makes is blasphemous in degrees
yet it brings me to my knees
pondering these
hypocrisies
for i am small
and i cannot know it all
nor turn away
from the flame that lit my heart
that led me to the light of day
a sunlit brightness
swept inky shadows
of arrogance from my brain
then gently whispered a refrain
to bless my name
and the light that touched my mind
erased the pain
turned upon a newfound joy
embraced the shame
and best of all
taught me to know
that i am small. [comments] => 7 [counter] => 174 [topic] => 21 [informant] => dafremen [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

What I read in this poem spells enlightenement.
Symbolicly the flame(light) lits up, darkness which is
(the arrogance of the brain) is illuminated as humility
shines through. Amazing awareness here daf.
My version of this translates to my poem "Breathe".

That was very perceptive of you vincy.
I was thinking the same thing. If you havent already read Piece of Work by defreman i recommend it. Who is this defreman person? Very amazing if you ask me.
