~ Who am I…? ~ 

☆

Who am I, a conundrum

wrapped in mystery?

The truth of existence, an

enigma eluding clarity?

*

Am I a fleeting thought,

drifting into the infinity?

Or a mystic soul, shrouded

in the silence of eternity?

*

In this labyrinth of self,

I search for a refrain,

A whisper of truth, or a

glimpse of the divine in vain?

*

Am I a moment’s pause, or

a heartbeat’s gentle sway?

Or a life’s arduous journey,

through the mist of dismay?

*

The riddle echoes quizzingly,

a haunting, ethereal sigh,

As I wander through the shadows,

lost in the twilight sky

*

In the inmost depth of my being,

a mystic voice whispers low,

Of secrets untold, and mystery

that the heart only may know…!
