If I am what I am, tell me, who are you?

I am thinking of you; maybe I am you.

There is oneness among us that covers all.

I am him, and he is me, and we are you.

…………………………..

I’m me, and you’re you, and you are me,

I am you, and he is me; how could it be?

I can see with my eyes, although it is dark.

I am hoping to see all, as he might see.

…………………………..

I am falling, and I don’t see the way out.

You told me that there was an end to my route.

I am falling into this bottomless pit,

The truth is lost; there is room for little doubt.

…………………………..

You told me to listen; I heard otherwise.

You taught me to look at; I had blinded eyes.

I wish that I could see that what the message is,

I stumbled again, wondering with surprise.

…………………………..

I wish to see the things all here and all there.

A thousand mysteries I found everywhere.

How can I trust my eyes, they betrayed my heart.

But if my heart wants it, they see it as fair.

…………………………..

I do not see myself as once that I was.

I knew all the science and all of its laws.

I wish I knew one more secrete in my life,

How come I came to existence without cause?

…………………………..

There was a time when I thought I knew it all.

All of that I’ve learned made me stand tall.

When I reached at the peak, I found out that I was,

a kind of wonderer, however small.
