Je Suis

by Larry Chamberlin   Jul 15, 2016


Man in the wilderness
shouting "I am!"
is God creating thunder.

Man in the city
crying "Why?"
is God closing Eden.

    This is such a powerful yet saddening piece.

    Your words hit home every time I read this.

    Beautiful write, I just wish the circumstances were different. You did justice to this Larry.

    Wow, powerful indeed. I didn't even notice til now we both posted a poem "Je Suis" around the same time? I think we were both online.

    Brevity truly speaks. So heartbreaking, especially the thought of "God closing Eden". Wow. That hits the heart over and over :(

      Just read your Je Suis
      Strange indeed - must be some mod-psych connection.
