Who am I?

The question baffles,
Its entirety overwhelms!
It’s my existence that prompts the question…
Who am I?

The purpose of life…
At times it’s reaching the pinnacle of materialism,
At times it’s a higher calling… seeking the ‘real self’,
At times it’s just blank!
Thoughts just lie suspended in mid air…
Who am I?

Am I the summation…
Of the events gone by?
Or am I the going to be the culmination
Of the events to come?
Who am I?

Torn between the past and the future,
I find something amiss!
It’s the vital linking factor
That holds the key to my existence….
Who am I?

Suddenly a fitting answer,
To life’s mystery floats by…
It’s essence being it’s simplicity
“I am this moment……”
Nothing more nothing less!

I feel liberated,
From the past and the future,
For it’s the present that defines me,
“I am just this moment!”
