Both the poem and the trailing discussions are interesting.

I’d recommend reading of a short story by the Nobel laureate Herman Hesse under the caption “Within and Without”. It’s bit scary; nonetheless underscores the point alluded to in this post. Succinctly put, ‘We fear things and abhor it and the fear gets thickened inside. Then we start loving it and that’s the way we can get rid of that.’

Thanks.

_uninhibited and uncontrolled, but then it’s only you and no one else._
yes, it’s only you and no one else and nothing else. perhaps that’s the realization they are seeking.

Swami Vivekananda, a believer in advaita philosophy, said:
We all have to begin as dualists in the religion of love. God is to us a separate Being, and we feel ourselves to be separate beings also. Love then comes in the middle, and man begins to approach God, and God also comes nearer and nearer to man. Man takes up all the various relationships of life, as father, as mother, as son, as friend, as master, as lover, and projects them on his ideal of love, on his God. To him God exists as all these, and the last point of his progress is reached when he feels that he has become absolutely merged in the object of his worship. We all begin with love for ourselves, and the unfair claims of the little self make even love selfish. At last, however, comes the full blaze of light, in which this little self is seen to have become one with the Infinite. Man himself is transfigured in the presence of this Light of Love, and he realises at last the beautiful and inspiring truth that Love, the Lover, and the Beloved are One.

more casually mario vargas llosa, in his wonderful book “in praise of the stepmother”, wrote:
You are I and you, and you and I am you.

Whatever be the case i was just speculating (hence the title “a hiccup” for this haiku) and i welcome your disagreement.

sure there your uninhibited, and uncontrolled .. but then its only you and no one else ..
