Who Am I? Poem by Mohabeer Beeharry

I am light,
I am darkness.

I am the way
And I am the glory.

In wisdom
Like the radiant sun
I wax in light.

In darkness
Like the pale moon
I wane,
And this fragile frame suffers
Victim to consumming distresses.

Like the wonton waterfall
Tumbling from on high
Spilling showers of gleaming sunshine
I am happiness.

In patience
I am a fortress
Of rock and stone,
Fearless
Treading the path of self-realisation.

And in ignorance
I am a shack of straw
My mind a tinderbox,
Slave to the marauding senses
silently
Consuming myself.

At the dawn of wisdom,
In the heart of the transcendental light,
I see myself
As the glory of the One
Who made me.

No light,
No darkness
No wisdom nor happiness,
I see myself as Him
And Him as me,
The ultimate reality of the infinite consciousness.
