I Am Who I Am Writer : Dr Ng Kian Seng"Any Name of God I invent Is but a metaphor of my own need." A particle of sand, when asked to name The sea, said, "He is the One Who washes me with baptismal waters Again and again." And his eyes, glazed orbs, Scanned the near waters from shore To anchored ship searching For the next wave to lap the shore. We ask for His Name. And a Babel Of voices, high pitched, lyrical, tells us It is a prefix to every man's needs, God-the-Genie-of-my-Aladdin's-Lamp, God-my-Miracle-Worker, God-my-Divine-Healer, God-my-Storehouse-Keeper. It is no longer as in the beginning, The ancients locked His Name in the ark Of their minds and then in confession box whispers Told and retold the story of Uzzah. A particle of sand, when asked to name  The sea, said, "He Is Who He Is." And his eyes, starry globes, scanned the far waters From the visible to the invisible Horizon, searching for a Tsunami. A physician and poet, Dr Ng Kian Seng has had his writings (poems, inspirational pieces, short stories, medical articles) appear in 44 different journals published in Malaysia, Singapore, India, Australia, New Zealand, and USA. He has published 3 collections of poems and won prizes in many competitions, including the prestigious 1995 New Straits Times-Shell poetry competition. Dr Ng also serves as an Elder in the Presbyterian church in Malaysia, where he resides. Visit his blog
