Me and the Creator

As the creator, you have many roles,

such as mother, father and this nature.

It is nature which seems to create,

inspired by your creative signature.

If I consider you as my father

the respect flows to you naturally.

You may hold high expectations

from your children especially.

If I consider you as my mother

I will feel loved every day.

Your love will hold me so close

how will I go out, explore and play?

If I consider you as my elder brother

You are my buddy, caretaker and friend.

unappreciative of blessing I may rebel

but with you naturally, I’ll blend.

If I consider you as my friend,

then we can share some talks of love,

tell some jokes, weave some dreams

without feeling that you are so above.

If I consider you as my understanding

that is what I fundamentally need.

To feel the freedom and live honourably,

cutting across the desires, fear and greed.

If I consider you as the cosmos itself

space, energy, time, and matter.

the extent of dimensions and all-nature,

forces that bind and ones that scatter.

If I consider you an owner or my lord,

a shepherd to the beast or a tyrant king.

I am unique in your image that they say,

why should I always feel tied to a string?

Maybe I should consider you as everything

that I can see, hear, taste, smell or touch,

or nothingness from which emerge all things,

beyond mind, intellect or myself as such.

There is something common that I noticed

that we feel love and love is our bond.

We can interpret and we can understand,

this is our potential and this makes us strong.

We can know the truth by differentiating

and can create reality from delirious dreams.

despite hallucinations and illusions of nature

that bind me while You stay free to extremes.

“When you evolve and become good like me

and there remains no difference”, he says,

there is no separation between me and you

we become one reality which forever stays.
