I was, I am, I will,
I need, I want, I must,
A definite fact we think it to be,
No scientific proof do we demand of it..
Pride, identity, needs, wants,
Greed, jealousy, anger, dejection,
Regrets, worries, fear, loss,
Does this “I” do us any good?
The atoms in the stars, the atoms in the sun,
The atoms in the moon, the atoms in the trees,
The atoms in the good, the atoms in the bad,
The atoms in you, the atoms in me,
Atoms they are, atoms they will be..
The thoughts in you, become the thoughts in me,
Are they yours or mine?
The body I own, the possessions I own, become dust and less,
The achievements I claim with pride, will fade away and be forgotten,
What is this “I”? Why do I cling to it?
What happens if it disappears?
Is it nothing, with no you nor I?
Or is it everything, where there is nothing but I?
Will life as I know it disappear,
Or will I truly know life, as never before?
Will I still be able to love and give,
Or will I truly know to love and give,
When this “I” ceases to exist?
Is there something to seek,
Is there something to let go,
Is there anything to do, or do I cease this pretentious “doing”?
Ah this boggles my mind..but whose mind is this, that is boggled?
