The Mystery

I am prana, qi, nirvana,
I am the language and the barrier,
I am the learner and the learned,
I am the swing and the wind swinging the swing,
I am love and the hate born of it,
I am the quest and the treasure, 
I am and I am not
When I am; my perception shapes the world,
When I am not, nothing of the colourful world exists,
I am the mother of all mysteries.
