A VIGIL FOR MY SELF

How do you know
Who you are
Hiding behind the mask
In this masquerade
That passes for
A so called life

We have all
So many roles
We play
Sometimes hard to tell
When it is the day
Or the night

Meet me at some crossroads
Between the death
And beyond
Where the ego lies dead
And the truth
Is your only guide

Then I will say
I am pleased
To know you
And you
Will also know me
As I come to know
Myself
