Somewhere I Live

By Sundaram R M

I reside in your depths

As your absolute truth

The sight you see

When you see your bare body

I am in that moment

Where you stop living

As others

And live as your own

I am in that moment

Where you experience yourself

The absolute you

Not entertaining yourself

When others make you laugh

Not escaping yourself

When others make you sad

I am in that moment

Where you are just you

Above your feelings

Above your meanings

I am in that moment

A time that you let pass

Because you can’t return to something

Unless you let it go by

I am in that moment

What woke you up at night

When you felt a surge of happy

In the absence of delight

I am in that moment

When you felt like you

Until you caught the sight

Of a soul passing by

In the corner of his eye

You saw a woman, a friend, a lover

I am in that moment

Before he came by

I am in that moment

Until he came by

I am in that moment
