I once sat on the horizon of the universe Wondering the concept Of Nature Seems like a curse Like a song played in reverse Incomprehensible Undoubtedly insensible To the spirit of the eye Do I dare to die? Even if I could The sounds of men & women Still stand by… As if I didn't exist Do I even exist? I do feel love & pain So must mean I’m alive, but I’m unseen to the vision of others I can't be heard either So I must be dead? I ponder whether reality is real or not I've lost track of time Honestly, I don’t know if time is real or not... I feel the same And look the same, but I've seen the sentient sphere Grow from the smallest seed into The greatest tree of energy and Into the dust Drifting away carelessly To be discovered Like poems Stories And plays An anthology to knowledge To become philosophy And into theology To cause war And then finally Balance Am I the cause of this? I ask again, am I alive or dead? It is said, we are born from something I came from nothing I was created by nothing I wonder, what is nothing? Is it my mother? Is it my father? I seek truth as you do I seek comfort as you Am I one of you? You say I am all that is perfect That you descend from me So that must mean we are one entity, but your stories say, “Nothing is equivalent to the” And you doubt my existence Soon I’m forgotten once again My question again, am I alive or dead?
