Who am I?

Sometimes the depths of me

Move like a wild ocean

That never knew

The sight of land

At other times who I am

Disappears in a fog

Of energies I swim inside

And then I do not know

An end or a beginning

The sages say

That who we are

Is beyond all concepts and words

In nature

I experience my soul

As part of the mystery

At times when I breathe

I am the sky and the ocean

As I feel my soul to be

At one with love

And then

Kicking awake my pain body

I am that other Self

I never met

Struggling to release

All of the impediments

Laying claim

To my soul

Then when I lay me down to rest

Who I am disappears

As I melt into the soothing sweet relief

Of sleep

Suspended in silence

Held safe within

The healing embrace

Of emptiness
