The Self, Duality and The Absolute

[Psyduck]

Three poems exploring a similar theme:

The Universal Self

I am Brahman
a mixture of tears of joy
and tears of sadness.

I am the tears
of every human being
that has ever lived
and will ever live.

I am Brahman
This is me
This is me
This is me.

Between melancholia and megalomania.

I cannot despair and not hope
I cannot hope and not despair.
I must do both.
The Maya of duality
covers over what I truly am.

I only appear to be,
this ever lasting and changing
struggle between opposites
joining
tearing apart
contradicting.

I am Brahman
This is me
This is me
This is me.

Physis

I am Nature... blossoming open, springing forth
I am Nature... passing away, withdrawing itself
I am joy
I am sadness,
This is what I am.
This is what All is.
