Who Am I?
Others call me by my name
What if I change my name?
I am the same with a different name
Who am I?
My colleagues and LinkedIn connections
knew me by my position
I changed my position,
but I am the same
Who am I?
My parents call me their son
and my sisters, their brother
My wife calls me her husband
and my daughters, their father
My friends call me their friend
Who am I?
I behold beauty with my eyes
and fragrance with my nose
My ears bless me with melodies
while my tongue savours delicacies
I sweat in summer and shiver in winter
My senses are the gateway to the world,
but I am not them
Who am I?
I breathe my breath, but I am not the breath
My legs take me to the shelf
and my hands pick up the book,
but I am neither of them
My heart sustains my body,
but I am not my body
Who am I?
Love makes me happy
While anger makes me angry
Success gives me joy
While failure makes me sad
I feel emotions but I am not the emotion
Who am I?
I think of my past glories and future worries
I travel the cosmos within me
With closed eyes, I witness my thoughts,
but I am not my thoughts
Who am I?
Each night in deep slumber I lose my mind,
yet I find the same me in the dawn
I am not my mind
Who am I?
That Thou Art.
