Birth Day? by Lee Mollins

Birthday?

Never

If “I” is born

Then it is Trevor,

John or Lee.

A birthday needs a “me”

You see?

Except when you were born

As empty as the dawn

Of time.

You weren’t here then,

As you can’t tell me when

You didn’t know

On your unbirthday

Is frictionless flow.

Yes, thinking may arise.

The years you gain are lies.

Inside your head,

You are already dead.

As old as death?

In timelessness

And breathless breath

The yogi way

Your unbirthday

As fire of Yoga burns

Om any happy returns?
