Who are you?
(the light, the light, the light)
in church:
"Who are you?"
"I am not the Christ.
I am Mary, luminous and weightless."
"Who are you, what do you have to say for yourself?"
"I am the voice crying out in the dark desert.
Reaching out, I saw a light
piercing through me, lifting me up in and through its folds
until I could hardly stand it
and that's how I knew it to be God
by this overpowering light I saw the spiral of life
and then, somehow, I knew myself
to be a creature of this light
"I am the Mother of all
Maybe who I am is in the scriptures
"Who am I?
Once I thought I was merely God's handmaid
He hid my relentless power within the folds of my heart
to be illuminated by the relentless light that is my own soul
that is everyone's soul
"I am my heart
I am my heart
the light, the light, the light"
