A new I poems

Rocío Sintas
ONE LIGHT SCHOOL

At the end of June, we held the end-of-year retreat for the “A New I” training. As is customary, on the last night, we build a fire where everyone has the opportunity to share a song, dance, poem, experience, dynamic, etc. It’s a time to celebrate our time together, to enjoy, and to express to the group whatever comes from the heart, in relation to what we’ve experienced throughout the year, or to the specific experience of the retreat.

This year, with the theme “A New I,” we worked to discover our true identity as the unique consciousness behind everything, transcending the individuality and personality of the small self and coming to experience, even if only briefly, what the true Self is.

At first, the work is about getting to know the small self and seeking to renew it, actualize it, overcome patterns, and consciously re-create ourselves every day as something “new.” Later, as we grow closer, we discover that what is true is not something new but rather something unchanging that has always been. It’s a journey of self-discovery, where small revelations lead us to profound changes that encourage us to continue walking towards a new I.

Here I share some of the poems from the group.

A Path Toward Home

We walk as seekers through the night,
With trembling hearts and flickering light,
Each soul a spark, a flame to tend,
Each wound a doorway we must mend.
And in our striving, rise we must—
From clay to stars, from fear to trust.

Love is the compass, deep and wide,
That guides the silence we hold inside.
It sees the tears we try to hide,
And walks with us, step by step beside.
Through shadows thick, through skies unknown,
It whispers: – You are not alone.

To touch the edge of what is true,
We must see me reflected in you.
No soul ascends this path apart—
We rise together, heart by heart.
In giving, we receive the flame
That calls us gently back by name.

The mountain top, the deepest well,
Each has a story still to tell.
Our birthright waits in silent grace—
Not in a place, but in the face
Of every traveler lost and torn,
A light that breaks when we are born.

So let us lift each other high,
Hold space for tears we do not cry.
Let presence be our greatest prayer,
Let kindness fill the very air.
The road is steep,
the journey long—
But joined in love, we both belong.

And when at last we’ve reached the door,
Not needing more, not seeking more,
We’ll pause upon the path again,
And when a stranger comes, as then—
We’ll meet their eyes, and hold them tight,
And whisper softly:
– I love you.
– Thank you.

– Christer

Meditating on Qi

Being for a long time
Without truly being
Being without Being… completely
Searching for the Center
Of What I Am
Until arriving here
At this moment
After the journey in search of the Light
In the gaze, the observation, in the merging
There, my Being, my true Being

– Ana María
(original poem written in Spanish)

I am one with the Qi

My skin vibrates, it comes alive
With its own language,
Pierced by the source.
Suddenly everything awakens
And I feel within me what I Am
What I have Been and will always Be,
The eternal,
The Origin and the End,
The Qi.

– Ana María
(original poem written in Spanish)

All is One

In these days
of golden rain,
My soul cries out
for another self

For another skin
For other eyes,
For another mouth…

Another look,
Another word
Another feeling…

There is no beyond,
There is no other,
A voice cries out
Among the specks
Of gold dust…

And an infinite,
An ineffable
Beautiful presence,
Becomes one to me,
Becomes all to me…

All of you,
All the selves
All of them…

There is only that,
That we are all,
That embraces all,
That loves all,
That we all are,
From all emanates.

– Ana María
(original poem written in Spanish)

YES TO LIFE

I say YES TO LIFE and I am FILLED UP
I say YES TO LIFE and I am NOURISHED
I say YES TO LIFE and I am HEALED
I say YES TO LIFE and I GROW
I say YES TO LIFE and I SMILE
I say YES TO LIFE and I LIVE WITHOUT WORRIES
I say YES TO LIFE and I LIVE
I say YES TO LIFE
I SING and I DANCE the QI
THANK YOU LIFE!

– Raluca

Original poem in French:

OUI A LA VIE

Je dis OUI A LA VIE et Je suis REMPLIE
Je dis OUI A LA VIE et Je suis NOURRIE
Je dis OUI A LA VIE et Je suis GUERRIE
Je dis OUI A LA VIE et Je GRANDIS
Je dis OUI A LA VIE et Je SOURIS
Je dis OUI A LA VIE et Je VIS SANS SOUCIS
Je dis OUI A LA VIE et Je VIS
Je dis OUI A LA VIE
Je CHANTE et Je DANSE le QI
MERCI LA VIE !

– Raluca

Dream of a May day

Hey you… Are you dreaming…?
Short instant of break…
Interior game, dialogue
Exterior calm, silence

Magical hours
In utopian places
Letting the imaginary
Walk me in the airs

New vision
Spark idea
Mystery thought
In the mind wander

From the depths
One rich dwelling
Blossoms, as a flower
The heart language

Sails on the travel waves
Canvas of a mage world
Another part of real
Immaterial universe?

Moon in a starry sky
Marvelled head
Ingrained in the Earth
My desire models the matter

My Being comes to life, breathes
Intellect at the peak inspires
Body leaps… Feeling…
Birth of the aim4 to come

From abstract to concrete ?
I don’t know, as a secret
Here and now, the most important
It’s that process of present

Source, truth, wisdom
Intuition, patience, joy
In/(di)/visible the followed way
In me, oh grace, exists henceforth

Let’s dare to dream…

– Aurore

Original poem in French:

Songe d’un jour de mai

Eh oh… Tu rêves… ?
Court instant de trêve…
Dialogue, jeu intérieurs
Calme, silence extérieurs

Heures magiques
En des lieux utopiques
Laisser l’imaginaire
Me promener dans les airs

Vision nouvelle
Idée étincelle
Pensée mystère
Dans l’esprit errent

Depuis les profondeurs
Une riche demeure
S’épanouit, telle une fleur
Le langage du coeur

Voiles sur les vagues du voyage
Toile d’un monde de mages
Une autre part du réel
Univers immatériel ?

Lune dans un ciel étoilé
La tête émerveillée
Enraciné.e dans la Terre
Mon désir modèle la matière

Mon Être s’anime, respire
L’intellect à la cime inspire
Le corps palpite… Sentir…
Naissance du dessein à venir

D’abstrait au concret ?
Tel un secret, je ne sais
Ici et maintenant, le plus important
C’est ce processus du présent

Source, vérité, sagesse
Intuition, patience, allégresse
In/di/visible le chemin emprunté
En moi, ô grâce, existe désormais

Osons rêver…

– Aurore
