The One
written by: Michael Balner
Look at me, why don’t you see me?
I’m the one who makes trees dance,
I’m the one who carries birds
from far away – back to their nests.
Listen, can you hear me now?
I’m the one who makes grass weep,
I’m the one who puts lights out,
then coax you gently into sleep.
Touch me, can you feel me breathe?
I’m the one who makes land swell,
I’m the one who brings, unseen,
clear water to your deep, dark well.
Be me – and thus become yourself!
I’m the one who gives you strength,
I’m the one who lives inside you
from beginning to the end.
Let me soar and be fulfilled!
I’m the light in your dark eyes,
I’m the one who comes and goes,
yet never leaves and never dies.
Michael Balner is a privacy professional born in Czechia, he lives in Oslo, Norway. He started to write poetry only a year ago, during a period of a personal crisis. For him, writing is a means to get in touch with his deepest feelings and his inner parts. It has become a part of his therapy, healing of his childhood/youth complex traumas and a part of his search for his higher, pure self. He hopes that his readers can relate to his poems and hopefully feel a little less alone with their own troubles and battles.
