Aubade On Truth Poem by Padma Devkota

Aubade On Truth



(hello truth!) I have convinced myself
that you are the only friend who loves me
and shows me what I truly am. I fractured
long, long ago into a vowel which fits
anywhere inside a word so that now
in my multidimensional way i survive
in each fragment of the spoken word,
written word, or formed word in the mind.

i am many! i am to each what she thinks
is me, to each what she is led to believe.
And only the undeluded seeker knows
the Truth: for i am truth to all who seek.
