I am the world

when our body-mind dissolves
ego recedes, soul evolves
with soul an offshoot of God
Who is known when heart has thawed

entering thought cessation
dropping body sensation
we as consciousness expand 
obeying our heart’s demand

whilst humming a soundless verse
we swallow the universe
as the breath of God Himself
and then behold light of Self

our true Self stands outside time
and space, mirroring God’s chime
feeling complete, bliss replete
as light that does not deplete

from God comes Self, from Self soul
in pulse dual, in its role
each module merging with source 
when life has run its full course 

there is as such no one here
yet all are one, to us dear
God is in us, we’re in Him
in these dreams in which we swim
