Aham Brahmasmi

On the shores of the mighty ocean,
I dug out the earth with my little hands,
blending it with my first sweat,
I created my castle,
from the nothingness of the beach sand.

It was plain and blank.
Picking colours from my dreams,
giving forms to my world,
blending logic and fantasy,
I created a drawing,
from the nothingness of the blank paper.

It was struggling to leave
and also to stay; It's time now, to say.
I have to make warmth of this fiery love
or it will char me down.
Blending my wisdom and desire,
I created her, a poem,
from the nothingness of my silent words.

I have treasured it long.
Now, I have nestled the drop in the shell.
It will grow onto the precious pearl.
Blending Me and Her,
I have created life
from the nothingness of me...

Aham brahmasmi...
