WHO AM I ?

   When the sun would be shining , with glaring intensity

    Even in the dark hours of the night

    When the moon would usher its luster as well in the nocturnal haze

     On a starry night , in such a juncture of the war of the celestial bodies

     As I stand , all alone, confronting life , both the triumphs and the debacles

     Both the good and the bad times , the joy and the pain, the laughter and the cries

     I ask within myself “ Who am I “ ?

    

     Am I a part of the brilliant rays of the sun that lights away the dark ?

     Am I just a part of the soft luminance of the moon ?

     Like an angel’s lullaby , so tranquil, soothing and mesmerizing ?

     And as I stand facing the endless expanse of the skies

     I have confidence and confidence within me to answer but this question

     “ Who am I “ ?

  

    May be I’d live not after this very day, or may be I’d live life insignificantly

    Yet I wanna know “ Who am I “ ?

    Reflections of urself in the looking glass, is deceptive, u know

    U get what u look like, lest u don’t get what ur heart speaks of

    Crumbling shadows even in the naturescape, on the waters

    Speak not the truth , coz they give the impression of a “broken” thyself

    The shadows not uniform but broken and jarred in outline

    Yet am I so broken and dilapidated ?

    

     Yet when I stand confronting life on a starry night

      In my own world of the imaginary sun and moon shining on such a night

      To dispel away the prevailing dark

      Do I get the answer to “ Who am I “ ?

    

      I dun no,  yet I believe in life and living , I believe in myself

      I believe in keeping alive my aspirations , the zeal of life

      I believe I’m nature’ child , living in the laps of nature

      And one day even when I would live no more

      My memories will …. Sung by these forces of nature

      And I dun no whether I’d find out “ who am I “ ?

    

      Coz I dun no if I would presumably “ live upon the plenoptics of a different world “

      Even when I exist no more upon thy home planet

      Yet I believe upon the Supreme, He Who is our creator

      May be I’d be then a part of that celestial plangent light that impacts every soul

      And then will I find out “ Who am I “ ?
