In the void where existence and essence align,
I am the state where the boundaries intertwine.
Neither form nor absence can define my realm,
Yet I guide the pulse of the soul’s own helm.
I am the foundation where the self is found,
An echo of presence, where thoughts are unbound.
Neither past nor future can confine my grace,
For I exist in the now, in every space.
What am I, that embodies the essence of the whole,
A quiet declaration, both body and soul?
