If I were not me

Who shall I be

If I were not me

For thee are thee

Only I am not me

What happens to all that

When I had been me

And where shall I begin

With no past in new me

Whom I knew earlier

Shall not now know me

Stranger in my own home I become

Though I look only me

In mid race I join thee

Nothing to look back

Alien to one and all

A spectacle I shall be

If one's memory is washed away for good

What can he do  and poor thee

But to start afresh with a heavy heart

One blank and to others past memories haunt

Sans memories, does it matter

If I were me or not me

And thee a new thee

All make a new beginning whatever it shall be

Isn't it like that in real life too

When civilisations are wiped out complete

Newness comes replete with new wonders

Life is either interconnected or isolated at his Will

If I were not me

Or whatever I would have been

It matters to me, but does it matter to thee , just ponder

But be rest assured, He loves us all whatever we are or have been!
