Who am I

              Encased in form,
        my soul interacts in this realm
      through senses five and mind, wherein I’m caged
        but my heart accepts not
  limitations upon my consciousness imposed,
  for surely I’m not a creature instinct driven,
    as whispers in dreams too reveal ~
  that in truth my true essence is love, light and bliss.

              The map is not
        the terrain and therefore to know
      the ultimate truth, ego must recede
        and so to walk the talk,
  I have chosen to dwell in thought rested silence,
  that melding head with heart, my eye becomes single,
    whereupon thus piercing the veil,
  the light of my true Self is illuminated.
