Poem: My two habitats
Like day and night
I inhabit the skies of two realms
Blinded by my allegiance
I am beholden to both worlds
This is the parameter of my being
I cannot deny the existence of my outer self
When he’s the source of my sanity
Neither will I deny the existence of my inner self
Since he’s the realm of my dreams
I am totally mad to think you will understand
That my reality is not made out of solid atoms
I am a fibre of existence
I exist inside and outside the bowl of life
My inner self is solely governed by Silence
While my outer self enjoys the solid contents of life
I am nothingness that extended beyond the rim of life
I am also the petal of life inside the perimeter of existence
It’s true that sometimes I am overwhelmed
By the gravitational forces from both realms
Pulling me apart but yet putting me together
I am not solid as you may think
I am as fluid as the contents of emptiness
Sometimes I think I am a figment of my imagination
I exist only inside my dream
Maybe I am insane
To think that I exist at all
Maybe I am not here
Only my shadow
Yet again
Maybe I am the Shadowless dreamer
Or just the dream
But one thing is certain
My two habitats are real
