I'm but lost!

I'm but lost, 

A short while ago, 

Though I felt, 

I was but only,

A bundle of thoughts, 

Well-defined, 

Orderly, 

Groomed and zoomed! 

A second ago,

When I was ego, 

Something happened,

Like a sudden, 

Unexpected blast, 

And was so devastated,

Come about, finally fast!

And just knew,

Couldn't but know,

Where I was,

Who I was,

Where I was.

Regained the truth, 

I was ever the same,

I'm ever the same, 

I was never this name,

I was never this man. 

That is no more now, 

That is what happened, how!

Gone is the man,

Gone is the ego,

A while ago, 

Still I'm sole, 

Still I'm whole!

A contradiction in terms,

When I note this myth,

A Reality indeed,

When I see this truth.

Like the wind,

I'm gone,

Like the air, 

But I'm.

I'm the air,

I'm the breath,

Coming in, 

Going away,

All the same.
