I Have Learned So Much

I
Have
Learned
So much from God
That I can no longer
Call
Myself

A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim,
A Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much of Itself
With me

That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel,
Or even pure
Soul.

Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me

Of every concept and image
My mind has ever known.

Analysis: When God shows you the world, you feel free. You are no longer bounded by lines drawn to separate humans. No longer a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew shows that we are no longer one specific religion but one which overviews everything, which reminded me of the song "Imagine" by John Lennon. This poem kind of shows how big the world is, how much there is to Truth.

You were to do a TPCASTT or SIFT SEI analysis of your poem.
