Alam-i-Dharr*

If I were to recede back, back, back and yet further back

In regression, to before I was born

Prior to me existing

Pre-soul formation

What was my primeval, primordial entity?

A random particle?

A form of subtle matter?

Light? Ether?

Was I a mass of nothingness?

Or was I only in the imagination?

A mere thought awaiting creation

To be breathed into life with prana?#

Infinity to be abbreviated into a soul

And manifested?

*The concept of pre-existence in (Shia) Islam
#The Hindu concept of life force
