Who Am I?

Who Am I?

Who am I?

Am I the physical body that can magnify

Or the five senses on whom I rely?

Who am I?

Am I the intellect that knows to justify

Or the emotion that can make me cry?

Who am I?

Am I the impulses that are not my ally

Or the actions that help me clarify?

Who am I?

Am I the mind that is invisible to the naked eye

Or the soul, which I may deny?

Who am I?

When I realize that all the above are not I,

I learn to quiet them and from them untie.

That’s when I start to unravel my inner I

And it’s pure energy, I identify.

Behold, I perceive that consciousness is the I.
