Van Morrison – Enlightenment
Who am I?
An idea created by a mind far greater than mine?
A whisper in the wind. A raindrop in the ocean. A line from a song. A busy bee. A butterfly on the breeze. A bird in flight. A mouse running for cover. A tree. A mountain. Snow. Rain. The sun’s glow. Blue sky. A star. A rainbow.
A thought inside a thought inside a thought inside …
Who am I?
What’s my purpose?
The struggle to find a meaning to the life I’m living. Would that family and work and interests be the ultimate goals.
Always the same response to everything: ‘There must be something more beyond all this.’
Who am I?
Still searching for the reality.
If I find it will I like the who that I am?
Will I know if I’ve succeeded?
Who am I?
Will I get there in the end?
Where is the end?
Does it matter?
Probably not.
