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

When we pray from deep within, our prayers are heard. You were really brave. God bless, Take care, Rama
