Who Am I ?
By: Dr. Dionne Bates
Who am I? I am:
I who at inception was so intricately intrepid, that I married me to conceive
myself. I am:
Delicately dainty in my 20 pearls, yet dauntlessly dapper in the swagger of
my manner. Who am I? I am:
Endlessly evolving, not merely in my existence, but living fully the reality
of my actuality. I am:
Nascent in my nomenclature, as I am:
Tripartite of the tie between Grover and Harriet and the tribal ancestors that
traveled before them. Just as Yehosua Mashiach is tied to Mary/God and
Obatala and Oshun to Olodumare, these troikas theosophically tie me to all
humanity. Oh yes, I am:
Inclined to be irenically humble, having heroic potential with the propensity
of hellish proclivity in the face of injustice. I am:
Tacitly reserved, yet tenaciously assured. I am:
You and you are I... Do you know who I am? Do you know who you are? I
am who I say I am... and you can be whoever you say you are.
Be good to you. Because when you are... you can’t help but be good to me.
