Who

.

Who am I?
What is this self
that I occupy?

This space
This time
This body
This mind

I have grown,
I am a learner.
I have evolved
as an observer.

Am I the same person
as I was from birth?
Am I the story of
her journey on earth?

Am I my human self,
living and perceiving?
Am I my conscious self,
thinking and existing?

Does the self persist
when we close our eyes?
Do we cease to exist
until we arise?

Who builds the dreams
throughout the night?
What drives the will
behind this flight?

Who makes the choices?
Is the self an illusion?
Who is behind
this body-mind
fusion?

We can't see it
but we know it's there,
every individual
can't compare.

We can look into
the eyes of another,
imagine their life,
and simply wonder.

What are they thinking
inside their mind?
Imagine the universe
behind their eyes.

Imagine,
but never know.
Every self related,
but different in flow.

The source of thoughts
that spark and grow,
every mind
a different show.

Our own game of life,
a planet of souls.
Each of us
on our own path,
and with our own goals.

Some playing easy,
in life they thrive.
Some playing hard,
that barely survive.

We see, hear
smell, taste and feel,
while our minds
compute what's real.

Are we just thoughts
and sensations?
Pain and pleasure?
Joy and frustrations?

Are we just our
bodies and our minds?

Or is there
something else

drifting through
space-time?

Who am I?
Who are you?
What's your story?
