What is religion? Who is God?
What are stars? What are prayers?
What is Life, but –
Momentary awakening between dreams?
What is love? What is hate?
What is glory? What is shame?
What we do and do not do – All
An illusion of the great magician,
The Great Magician – “Mind”
Who creates its own faith of God,
Of stars, seas and space!
It creates a daily drama – The illusion
Within the illusion the vision and the passion,
All, to be snuffed out by breathe withheld
Just like a candle flame!
What is consciousness, unconsciousness?
Or, even subconsciousness?
What is understanding?
What is awareness or realization?
What is Self – the center of our Ego,
The pivot of our existence?
Then, what is Soul – are they mere
Aspirations from one dream to another?
What is ‘You’? What is ‘I’?
Dust to dust, Soul of some distant star
Today a cosmic nothing – But, one day
To become the very breath of the Cosmos!
Who are we? What are these words?
What do thoughts mean – When
Pain and passion become one?
We are, but, a small insignificant nothing
A drop, a ripple disappearing – Into
An ever widening circle of Nothingness!
