Tell Me, Who Am I? Poem by Arun Maji

in my dream you come
in my song you sing
in my dance you move.
tell me,
why can't I see anything
but you?
why can't I hear anything
but you?
as if you have swallowed
the universe within you!
as if everything of this universe
is nothing but you!

that day,
when I looked at moon,
I saw your laughter;
when I breathed cool air
I inhaled fragrance of your hair;
when I listened to river
I heard your whisper.

you are so tiny
yet so vast.
you are so little
yet so abundant
you are so minuscule
yet so magnificent.

I am so drowned in you
so dead within you!
I have forgot everything
but you.

tell me, who am I?
