I am God

Alone, and

a moment of silence.

An overpowering

stillness set in.

My body and mind

seemed to recede

into eternity.

I was transported

beyond time and space

to another world,

a vast unchartered

inner universe

which I had

never encountered

before,

an all-encompassing

living entity,

for a moment

I felt like god.

(From the collection of poems by A K Naik)
