Who Am I

Who am I If not an entity which Science keeps trying to explain And mysticism keeps trying to elevate? Who am I If not a mystery inhabiting a human body When Luck could have allowed me To be a butterfly, a bee or even a worm? Who am I Trying to pen down a verse Hoping to give myself an explanation About my own essence When no one else in this world And no other power, claiming to be as potent As the mystery which shrouds us all Can do such? Why, Who am I If not a mixture of molecules Going where the wind blows me And where the tides take me So that someday When I shall cease to be that I shall look back and understand, then, About which I was but Which I could never explain? I am music in a symphony, I am light amidst this blurry world I am love when faced with hatred I am poetry in a book I am prayers in a place of worship I am kindness in a selfish world I am unexplainable To myself! Who am I then? Who am I? If you do know Please open up my eyes And let me see that which I am! 9th January 2022
