I see an unfamiliar path
I sense a deep curiosity
I wish to go and explore
To discover and experience those unknowns
"Stop and stay!🤨 "orders an authoritative ego
I fight, rebel and move more
"Look at the comforts we have!🤗" displays a manipulative ego
Momentarily attracted but letting go,
I smile and wave it off, moving on more
"You will lose your identity!😠" warns a threatened ego
I contemplate, shrug and go on, seeking the unknown
"Don't leave me alone!!ðŸ˜" pleads a scared ego
I look at it compassionately, grateful for its duty done, but hastening further, I go on
"You've made me break!😖" yells a broken, shattered ego
I empathize with it, acknowledge its pain, and move on
"Who am I ?😵" whimpers a nonexistent ego
I leave it alone to its questions, moving on
Lo behold, the path that hath unfolded,
Seemingly long, tiring and infinite before me
Now dissolves into a fantastic, unimaginable source of light
No longer waiting for but seeking me
"How did this happen?" I think idly
An answer issues from the light beautifully
The journey wasn't towards me outwards
But towards me ever present in you
To reach me, the ego had to go
Painfully shattered, existing no more
Oh elevated being, know this true
Your identity is, was and will be Me and not thy ego.
Now that you've given up your earthly list
Enjoy this cosmic bliss :)
