II

I awake to a world twofold

One beguiles my existence

Another whispers eternal eminence

Both entangled

 

I relate to a self twofold

I that yearns, thrives in all tangible

I in quest of all impalpable

A dilemma unraveled

 

I breathe into a life twofold

A wallowing without; delusive unthinkingness

A mellowing within; blissful awareness

Fellowships and wars untold

 

A grey reality I behold

What is real, What is untrue?

Who am I, Who are you?

Which fold?
