Nothing belongs to me,
Self-manifesting phenomena,
arise and fade of their own accord.
Claimed: they linger unnaturally –
spoiling or shriveling like dried flowers.
Nothing belongs to me,
I have never had a birth or death,
I have never had a friend or ever been alone
I have never even taken a single breath,
I have never been a disciple,
I have never had a Guru,
Nothing belongs to me,
not even these words,
not even this realization.
In this freefall – nothing is my own,
even my true nature is simply self-manifest
