ESSENTIAL CONSCIOUSNESS

I came to this world

without a name,

like a blank sheet of paper,

deprived of the written words �"

subsequent records of my way.

 

And I brought to this world

the flame

that I had before birth

and even before I was

in the mother’s womb.

 

The flame that forever belongs

to my soul - my essence,

it’s become covered

with so many layers

of many my lives…

It’s completely lost…

 

And now, over the years

I’ve forgotten the way

to my flame…
