Who is writing the poem? Who is reading the poem? These are questions that help us understand exactly how mysterious our concept of Self is.

musical rain--that's a great phrase and there are many others in this poem.

This poem was really powerful...and it really hits that deep question of self so many ignore and so many are driven insane by. I especially loved the second verse...very philosophical, tis my favourite kind:)

Yes, the mind gets perturbed the moment you ask the question. A question, perhaps, which take you to many worlds of spiritual aura. The poem takes a turn and leaving aside the philosophical colours, faces the present. Always it is relevant to be sure of yourself in the living moment and of your 'karma'. That is important. Once you know it and are sure of it, you know who you are. Splendid work. Thanks for the poem!
