Who am I

this
here now 
our formless awareness
eternal screen of consciousness 
Self

Self
as noumena
births all phenomena
duality wherein we’re immersed
form

form
decaying dust
assumes an ego
which hijacks our awareness
delusion

delusion
hypnotic trance
dreams within dreams
spurred by dark desires
suffering

suffering
of ego
which we’re not 
is noticed thus birthing
wisdom

wisdom
is recognition 
that we’re Self
made in God’s image
light

light
is barren
without agape love
which dissolves all opposites
peace

peace
in stillness 
within outer chaos
is our true orientation 
illumination

illumination
an effervescence 
ignition renewal continual
fragrance of a rose
God
