Identity

Who am I?
I do not know.
You say you know
But I do not know you.

What am I?
A being?
A living being?
Or just a being living dead?

Where am I?
Earth? Hades? Heaven?
The fabled purgatory?
The space between life and death?

A moment!
I hear something – nothing!
The sweet symphony of silence
O the bliss of this wonder-filled world

Now...

I know who I am
I know what I am
I know where I am
I am Home and Free!
