Rama Balasubramanian Poet Free verse

Life Real Or Dream

50 years have passed since birth
Seems unbelievable
Fleeting moments, moving fast

Past is  HAZY
Mostly forgotten
Only few memories remain

Is this life real or IMAGINARY?
Am I real?

Are things actually happening?
Or
Are they DREAMLIKE, UNREAL?

Although I am fifty 
Still many mysteries remain unresolved!

Who am I?

I can survive with artificial organs, 
I can breathe with artificial respiration
I am surely not the body or breathe
Then who am I?
I want to see myself
Why am I hidden from view?

Morning to night, time flies
Although I live, life seems TRANCELIKE
Everything seems a figment of my own imagination, SURREAL

I feel I am a SHADOWY figure, ETHEREAL, 
I will very soon disappear

Jennifer Proxenos May 30, 2021 at 12:51 AM HI RAMA I FEEL LIKE WHAT YOU DESCRIBE OF YOURSELF SOMETIMES MY FRIEND. WHEN WE WERE HIJACKED ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO WITH A GUN TO MY HEAD AND ONE TO MY HUSBAND ELIAS, I THOUGHT IT WAS MY IMAGINATION PLAYING THIS OUT, I DIDN'T STRESS I DIDN'T CRY, I PRAYED, THEY DID US NO HARM BUT TOOK ALL OF MY OF MY JEWELRY AND SHOPPING, MY HUSBANDS BAG WITH A LOT OF MONEY AND A GUN IN IT AND WHATEVER ELSE THAT WAS LYING ON THE BACK SEAT A WONDERFUL POEM MY FRIEND, HUGS AND BLESSINGS, JENNIFER. Rama Balasubramanian May 30, 2021 at 4:16 AM Nice to know I am not alone. I thought I was the only one who felt life is a dream - not real. When we pray from deep within, our prayers are heard. You were really brave. God bless, Take care, Rama
