I AM Balance
Dave Allen Berry 1980 (Tacoma Washington)
you ask who I am,
you ask those who are farthest form me you only get secrets.
you ask those who are furthest from you, you get only lies.
you ask those who are closest to me get no secrets
if you ask those who are closest to you, you get no lies
you ask me you get no truths
you ask yourself you only get the truth
so who am I?
I am everyone and I am no one,
i am everything and I nothing,
I am the Creator and the destroyer,
i am life and I am death.
therefore I am balanc!.
