    -------------------------------------------


    I fell into the pit I had dug to protect myself,
    and in it I laid myself down and died.
    Arising days later to find that I felt more than alive,
    I was not a ghost or an incarnation or a messiah-
    Ego had been abandoned and I was nothing.
    Nothing save for consciousness and soft, impermanent flesh,
    though I had died and risen, I had no immortal answers,
    I had not seen a god- or any gods,
    and in my unbirth did not find myself in the bloody conditions of the "pureness" of birth.

    I was renewed but not new,
    Still unsure if I was just a chemical reaction in a realm of brain biology,
    or if I was the small piece of a puzzle created for a greater image by an ever loving universal eye

      Reading Auden is obviously good for inspiring you. I read for inspiration also.

    gain, another strong start I think you should continue. Wonderful lines here: "Ego had been abandoned and I was nothing./Nothing save for consciousness and soft, impermanent flesh,"

    Keep going with this. Deeper. There's lot here to explore.
