Me And Me

The impish me
and the absolute ME

Many think a contradiction
but a perfect complement

My love, my joy, my laughter and my play,
but a façade to cover the absolute stillness that I am

My words and my songs, my smiles and my mirth
are but a ploy to entrap you in my limitless void

Both men and Gods were made in this void
O Beloved if you dare, come – dissolve

I was born in my mother's womb
but she did not create me
I eat the salt of this earth
but I do not belong to her

It is through this body that I walk
I am not it
It is my mind through which I work
but it could not contain me

In the limitations of time and space I live
but it has not denied me
unboundedness

I was born like you, I eat like you,
sleep like you, and I will die like you
but the limited has not limited me,
life's bondages have not bound me

As the dance of life progresses,
this space, this unboundedness,
has become unbearably sweet

Become love, reach out
Become me
