I AM 我

When I came to be,
totally clueless,
until one day, I saw in the mirror,
“oh… this is me?!”

Right there, separateness started,
I, me, mine, … not mine!
Off I went on the trip of ego expansion,
until one day, my unhappy self shouted,
“This doesn’t work!”

Being caught in action,
little ego got a shock,
like a little mouse meeting with a hunting cat,
oh, my poor little mouse…

Although undesired,
the little mouse and I are like the shadow and his owner.
He is becoming annoying,
started losing his space in my heart,
he contracts and he contracts,
until one day he yells at me,
“oh but its not fair, all I want is for you to have all the precious, my master!”

My heart expanded for him,
came to terms with him,
embraces him,
loves him,
and willing to share this life with him,
for he has been hurt,
that’s why he has been naughty,
and looking all over for love,
“Its OK” I say to him,
“I can show you the way home, and we shall see,
everything is well for the both of us.”
