Not Just A Man
I Am Not Just "A Hero."
I Am Not Just "An Angel."
I Am Not Just "A Man."
You Are Not Just "A Hero."
You Are Not Just "An Angel."
You Are Not Just "A Man."
We Are Not Just "Heroes."
We Are Not Just "Angels."
We Are Not Just "Men."
-Paul Whiting

"I am no barrier to its sun; the light and I are as one!"
My Writing About A Man Being 'Not Just A Man': I am not just "a man." You are not just "a man." We are not just "men." We are God! –Paul Whiting (written approximately on April 10th, 2015 and turned into 'my writing' from my notes on September 30th, 2022)
My Poetic Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "I am not just 'a man.' You are not just 'a man.' We are not just 'men.' We are God!"
This poem was inspired by the lyrics to the song "In Her Eyes" written by Jeffrey Cohen, Michael Ochs, Andy Selby and Molly Kaye and, specifically, the cover performed by Josh Groban. (Please see the hyperlink below for the video.)
And this poem was also published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer." Plus, I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice!
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

"In Her Eyes" from AZlyrics:
She stares through my shadow
She sees something more
Believes there's a light in me
She is sure
And her truth makes me stronger
Does she realize
I awake every morning
With her strength by my side
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am
This world keeps on spinning
Only she stills my heart
She's my inspiration
She's my northern star
I don't count my possession
All I call mine
I will give her completely
To the end of all time
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am
In her eyes I see the sky and all I'll ever need
In her eyes time passes by and she is with me
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am
In her eyes I am
