The Witness
I stand witness to myself
appearing as division.
I stand witness to myself
appearing as a whole.
I stand witness to cognition
and the grasp of reason,
to the waking “I”
and dreamer’s dream,
display of ternary
and plays between.
I veil myself
with cloth of Self,
while senses urge to fulfill,
not knowing who is really still.
I stand witness to myself,
Self alone,
and no one else.
Contained within to great extent,
perception guards a made-up fence.
Yet by measure and by move,
thoughts delude while I exclude
what is not true.
It is not Two.
I stand witness to a degree.
What is left,
“I” cannot be.
