Who, Where, Why Poem by Nalini Jyotsana Chaturvedi

Who are you?
Is a difficult
One
How to define
That soul
Many times
That has
Returned


From where
do you come?
From the depth
Of consciousness
Of the primordial One

Where in the cosmic soup
We were all the same
One filled the cup
Another the firkin

Why do you dress up?
To my expectations
I want to live up
And face the world again
Despite
Past of broken trust.

So the questioning
Goes on
I phase out
Climbing back
To my cloud.

Travelling
a little further
From the mundane
That surrounds
