Not Christian or Jew or Muslim

Not Hindu, Buddhist, sufi, or zen

Not any religion or cultural system

I am not from the East or the West

Not out of the ocean or up from the ground

Not natural or ethereal, not composed

Of elements at all

I do not exist, am not an entity

In this world or in the next

Did not descend from Adam and Eve

Or any origin story

My place is placeless

A trace of the traceless

Neither body or soul

I belong to the beloved

Have seen the two worlds as one

And that one call to and know

First, last, outer, inner

Only that breath breathing human being
