Separation

Separation… If I am what I am, tell me, who are you? I am thinking of you; maybe I am you. There is oneness among us that covers all. I am him, and he is me, and we are you. I’m me, and you’re you, and you are me, I am you, and he is me; how could it be? I can see with my eyes, although it is dark. I am hoping to see all, as he might see. I am falling, and I don’t see the way out. You told me that there was an end to my route. I am falling into this bottomless pit, The truth is lost; there is room for little doubt. You told me to listen; I heard otherwise. You taught me to look at; I had blinded eyes. I wish that I could see that what the message is, I stumbled again, wondering with surprise. I wish to see the things all here and all there. A thousand mysteries I found everywhere. How can I trust my eyes, they betrayed my heart. But if my heart wants it, they see it as fair. I do not see myself as once that I was. I knew all the science and all of its laws. I wish I knew one more secrete in my life, How come I came to existence without cause? There was a time when I thought I knew it all. All of that I’ve learned made me stand tall. When I reached at the peak, I found out that I was, a kind of wonderer, however small. 6/10/18 Haloo The format of this poem is Rubaiyat, it is the plural of Rubai.
