795. Relations Wobbly and Rootless ‘I’ - 171208
While swimming
Amidst seething sea
Of selfish karmas
Seeking for coast
To rest my aching legs
I found a tiny land!
With a heavy relief
I docked my feet.
But alas!
It slipped and sank
Into selfishness!
Hurriedly I took
Refuge in another rock
The same thing went on!
Thus walking on
Moving stones
My voyage goes!
When the search
For something stable
Turns inside me
My own ‘I’ derides
Being a chameleon itself
With numerous shades!
Where is the root of ‘I’?
Am I this body
With thick emotional skin
Covering my foul feelings?
Am I this mind
With whirling thoughts
Centered at illusion? 171208
