I am
I am stories
I am consciousness
…
A Creation of Time and Space
A Manifestation of Testimony and Will
…
With their thoughts, I emerge
With their words, I materialize
…
I am their questions and answers
I am their vain aspirations and hopeful dreams
…
Through me, histories and philosophies are discussed
Through me, tales and fables are recounted
Through me, joys and sorrows are remembered
Through me, hatred and love are expressed
…
I am Vast Centuries and Petty Domains
I am their Ticking Clock and Eroding Soil
…
Transporting them to the Past and Future
Transporting them from the confines of Earth to the expanse of the Universe
…
I am a Voice
I am a Tangible Figure
I am a Phantom Figure
…
Through which Objects feel
Through which Animals talk
Through which Humans ponder
…
I am
I am the Testament of Humanity
I am the Will of Humanity
…
With their emotions liberated
With their creativity explored
With their designs recorded
With their memory safeguarded
…
They call me History
They call me Literature
They call me Philosophy
…
I am
I am their Testament of Existence
I am their Will to Live
…
I am their escape from death
Avoiding a swift forgetfulness
…
I am their key to immortality
Indulging a perpetual remembrance
