You gave birth to me
yet I have never been born
I am alive
yet never taken a single breath
I have been caught up in currents of time
yet this moment remains eternally still
I have traveled miles across this land
yet never taken a single step
I have had infinite conversations
yet never spoken a word
embraced many loved ones
yet never touched a single soul
I have cried oceans of tears
desperately searching for love
blindly unaware what I was seeking
was looking through my eyes
I have grieved a magnitude of losses
yet lost nothing at all
felt desperately alone
yet everywhere I looked, there I was
countless lifetimes
incalculable deaths
I am billions of galaxies in the Cosmos
yet I remain infinite emptiness

You gave birth to me
yet I have never been born
I am alive
yet never taken a single breath
I have been caught up in currents of time
yet this moment remains eternally still
I have traveled miles across this land
yet never taken a single step
I have had infinite conversations
yet never spoken a word
embraced many loved ones
yet never touched a single soul
I have cried oceans of tears
desperately searching for love
blindly unaware what I was seeking
was looking through my eyes
I have grieved a magnitude of losses
yet lost nothing at all
felt desperately alone
yet everywhere I looked, there I was
countless lifetimes
incalculable deaths
I am billions of galaxies in the Cosmos
yet I remain infinite emptiness
