What would I be?

What would I see if all the eyes were mine?

What would I hear if I heard through all the ears?

What language would I speak if I spoke through all the tongues?

What would I hold if all the hands were mine?

What would I feel if all the hearts were mine?

What would I do if I was in all the minds?

What would I be if I was in all?

What would I experience if all was in me?

How would I react if it dawns that it’s true,

that I am all and all is me?

But wouldn’t the all-knowing me know already

that I was to discover the real me?
