I AM

 

                                        I am the Great Sun, but you do not see me.

                                        I am your Husband, but you turn away.

                                        I am the Captive, but you do not free me.

                                        I am the Captain you will not obey.

 

                                        I am your Counsel, but you do not hear me.

                                        I am your Lover whom you will betray.

                                        I am the Victor, but you do not cheer me.

                                        I am the Holy Dove whom you will slay.

 

                                        I am the Truth, but you will not believe me.

                                        I am the City where you will not stay.

                                        I am your Wife, your Child, but you will leave me.

                                        I am that God to whom you will not pray.

 

                                        I am your Life, but if you will not name me,

                                       Seal up your Soul with tears, and never blame me.
