Who Am I?

In the vastness and deepness
of this unfathomable universe,
I wonder what I am; I wonder who I am.
In the eternity of this universe,
I wonder why I am.
Am I a bundle of atoms, protons, electrons?
Or a bag of organic matter filled with salty water?
Am I just a play of matter,
its various elements and energy?

I am!

What is this feeling, this experience?

Of being,
Of existence,
Of living,
Of breathing,
Of hunger and eating,
Of sweating and salivating,.......
Of desire
and mating.

As long as I am,
there are all the things,
all the sights,
all the sounds,
the activities of life and nature,
the beauty and the vagaries of nature,
of existence.

When I am not
everything is a big ZERO,
but all this is still there '
Matter, energy, electrons, protons of elements,
the sky, the earth, the atmosphere, oceans,
rivers, lakes, water,
plants, animals;
the sun, moon, planets and stars
and the universe still unending,
fathomless, deep, dark,
cold and scary;
bright and hot.

And still moving.

I know not where
I know not why.
