Ego Death

Divided by space and time,
We are unaware of the parity of each of one’s journey
Perishing in wounds
Ascending in healings
Amidst a tumult of drifting
from space to space, time to time.
How formidable, how unrelenting is this exertion!
How liberating, how nourishing is this pruning!

Imagine a child shoved by everyone
It gives you goosebumps
That's what lies beneath my existence,
I, abandoned the tears, embraced the path.
After all suffering:
Knowing that emerges only from the fear of pain.

Bonds forged in the name of love rupture painlessly,
Abandonment is unleashed in warmness,
Remains the disillusionment of living in bondage,
Remains the emotional numbness.
After all clutters:
Knowing that is only the beginning of resurrection.

Life itself is so desolate.
Standing in the solitude of the self
Inholding neither vengeance nor resentment.
After all brimming emotions:
Knowing that no one is truly a protagonist,
but our guides.
