"Be who you are"
Words of wisdom indeed!
But who are you?

"Know thy Self!"
Truly the one prescription fits all
But how does one know
who one is?

Certainly not by mind.
It wouldn't have us be
the entity
beyond the guise
of personality...

Deeper of course
is the current's course
than all these things
that can be explained,
than all these things
that can be so shaped,
and tampered with,
by a world of lies;
the external world
that seeks to surmise,
when the truth within
might as well suffice.

Should the seed of thought
from it's lonely land
mold us near to zilch
by our very hand
into something that
it could comprehend
within our mind's grasp
where true self is not?

Well, I think not!
You're not but a body
that is meant to rot!
You're the whisper of God
in your own earshot!
You're the one for All
and you're all we've got!

Not lost, you're found
as the song you sing,
as the dance you dance,
as the play you play,
as the sun you shine
that lights up our way.

Not gone, you're here
in the space you share
when you have no fear
and you're all aware
of the truth you bear.

You are here!
You are now!
You are it!
You're all you get!
You are here!
You are now!
This is you...
I'm sure you've met!
