True face

The question "Who am I?"

is whispered through my being

in a flash it is realized

that I can never be what I think I am

and thus thoughts stop

left is the sense of being

in a stillness that sings

a presence without a begining or an end

an emptiness full of peace

nothing to say

nothing to do

still action takes place

from this empty grace

Know this true face
