Who Am I

Unless we clearly recognise
Who in truth we really are 
We live in a world conceptual
Truth distant like yonder star

Fleeting is joy, lasting is pain
Our feeble form is doomed to die
World of transience holds no appeal 
We know there’s more, so we sigh

To exit the matrix and be free
Cessation seems to be the way
Thoughts rested, identity disappears
We then see the truth, clear as day

To drop identity requires courage
It is after all, a leap into the unknown
Yet do not all paths require surrender
That we may come into our own

Fortunately we can begin as a game
Taking time out for quiet meditation 
We can return to delusion in an instant
So why not choose attention oscillation 

To get good at this game, we must practice
Just like any other sport we opt to pursue
So if we if choose to give silence a chance
In timeless time we become a persona new

Simply stated, silence speaks to us
We receive wisdom downloads from God
Bliss suffuses our form, nodes come alive
In childlike joy, our soul gives love a nod

The knowing we garner transcends mind
It is in truth a becoming as living light
We become the answer needing no translator
Seeing God face to face with spherical sight
