I Trust the Thing I Am



I trust the thing I am
for answers
to confusing questions that
this life throw's forth

I trust the thing I am
to tell me
how to value
a farm animal's potential prize
or the beauty of a poem
or the texture of a film
or the facial expressions of a Maori man

I trust the thing I am
when I ask
Is this a good song
is this a nice person
is this a stunning sunset
does this child shine absolute

I trust the thing I am
to know love
and i trust the thing I am
enough
to know
that I
am in
love
with
you.
