When the mind was perfectly still,
And the thought absolutely silent,
When 'you' were not asleep,
Neither awake to the senses,
Nor the senses,
-to the 'world'
'external', of the five senses, 
Namely hearing, vision, smell, touch or taste. 
Your 'sixth' sense was alive, alert.
Or the 'world',
 -'internal' of feelings, emotions, 
Because such a world was absent,
It was a perfect calm, 
When the memory had not yet opened-up,
It's wings and took the flight,
Nor started to hum,
It's routine song,
Those echoes of the old and stale,
- ever-repeated notes,
And you were you,
That you knew then,
But could never,
Through the senses, 
Nor through the mind and the 'world', 
-'internal' or 'external,
that always boast of knowing.
