Eyes 👀 Spy : Questioning Who am I ? The Sun, The Monk and The Moon, 🙃😌😇🥶The Hunt?!
Here I go, philosophizing the Vedantic way: A-hum Brahmasmi ! A letter to Me, Myself and I Oh! Let me not worry ,whimper nor sigh about this silly thing called I … Let me be ! I am The arrow, The bird, The drum, The Sun, The Monk and The Moon ! The hunter, The hunted, and the reason why— The skies are high, and therein, most relentlessly, to overcome this illusion called LIFE and Who am I !

In the hush of the star-forged wilds,
A bow of moon-beam, and an arrow, hunts the vesper milds
There, the cradled time, arching in the haloes, dwell alongside …
At which , the oceanic nocturnals, round up to inquire : Who am I?!
Do I —serve the rumors of every other desire—dripping over forever, fraughting over pyres ?
Nay, not really.
My quiver is empty
My heartbeat a drum;
I trade it for silence,
I trade it for ONE ☝️
One moment here,
The other gone
It’s time for adieus
For my work here is done
Yes, I’m stilled in the being—
only to become,
That ONE in meaning,
not veiled over anon
A fathom whose provenance parades to ascend,
I transcend!
My voice surges
unhampered,
just like a hummingbird’s hum;
And with all those subtleties,
—all gently rumbling a hum,
Here comes— tenacity—taking its turn.
That which resides in the origin’s hunt,
That which —infinity—much like eternity, mixes up as—ONE,
And for this living harbored in either-or, and with all those mortals— so v’ry summed…
Nothing else remains in so far distance,
That which the inner realms’, haven’t really learnt.
Like making “endless” go on a fourth run, with the fifth seeded over every other front !
O! Dare I say—venturesome;
What’s more certain than: “cogito -ergo-sum,”
And, this is, all there is, to really comprehend
For everything and anything which comes out in substance,
Can actually be a sum of “posit positum.”
O! Look! There’s a sojourn,
In it —dwells, the knowns, unknowns, grown and outgrown
Such and so is plentitude,
that —which must be seen as in gratitude,
Surely, a must to be seen in magnitude,
But, alongside the efforts which mark beyond servitude
O! Look!
There’s a luminaire spreading such a mysterious chace,
O! Those fractals exploding much like those crystalline shapes
There go—a thousand selves, sprinting across, like a gallantry, tossed over cosmic face
And down those corridors, tracing the haze,
There’s this —“me,” all seeking, most unusually, that heavenly grace !
I am the arrow, the bird, the drum
the hunter, the hunted,
and the reason why—
The skies are high,
and therein, most relentlessly, to overcome this illusion
called LIFE and Who am I !
Oh! Let me not worry ,whimper nor sigh on this silly thing called I …
O! Precious Life!
Ah! fleeting hope, flittering fire
Is thou oafish as a quenchless briar
Thirsty, perhaps, for long, so mired
Yet, in every nature spread so to inspire
That you must behold that entire desire-
Within which renews hope thro' heartless quagmire
As grating gropes over gurgling gyres
Ebbing in flow as some embodied empire
Unto that, bellying long, those flown off spires
As clustered congeries over cloistered choirs
O! Must you lie bare upon death beds so expired
Seemingly dropping a thousand dirges over deathly pyres
But, for the spirited souls thickened by dire
It's all an illusion which they pledge not to ever acquire!
For the flesh so camped in rubies and lodged sapphires
When post -personified, it waves its final flags as in an esquire;
Finally bidding adieus to everything that coexists to equally transpire
! O Precious Life !
Co-concurring off the hook, as though on a timely spire...
How upon innocence you gently conspire
As faith so ardent rolls its' own ardent hope —so dire

The thrums in the strums and the delights in the humdrum of life have always fascinated me.
It’s that feast of reason and flow of soul; in all that I see and all that I shall behold!
I am an avid lover of art and philosophy!
