Epiphany

       “Why are we here?”, he asks;
“What is the purpose of life?”, he does ponder.
“Is this a dream or is this really real?”
“Why black emptiness all around us if all we can do is wander?”

“Are we alone in this infinite abyss?”
“Are we pawns in a game of celestial chess?”
“Are we distant dreams of our true selves?”
“Why for the love of God do we find reason in this mess?”

“Does life begin with birth?”
“Or does death end with life?”
“Is there a beginning or an end to this journey?”
“Why exist at all in this world when imperfections are rife?”

He looked up at the Angelic figure
That aura of conscious all around it.
Oh! How he longed a swim in the ocean of cognizance
when he lived out his life in that black, meaningless pit.

The Angel had no flesh or bones
Yet she allured his very soul
She seemed to give a beaming smile
His conscious was about to take a heavy toll

She took him by the hand and said
“My child, I am your Mother.
I’ve birthed everything that lives and moves
and dies one after the other.

“I’ve been christened as Energy,
My blood flows through all of creation.
I’m harmoniously wedded to your Father;
Our syzygy reverberates with universal permeation.

“Our synergy pervaded matter
and birthed cosmos and all entities sublime.
It was just a matter of me and him;
My son, your Father is Time.”

He took in this abstract truth,
It was neither obvious nor obscure.
His guided epiphany had just begun.
Would he find famed Nirvana? He was still unsure.

The Utopian

A thousand thoughts swirling in my mind
They trespass into the realm of reality.
They make me look what I am not
There's chaos in the sea of tranquility.

Ride on the ridges of time
thriving on white emptiness
you thwart reigns of structure and logic
with utmost subtlety and finesse.

Here, look, what you have done!
Unfettered this prisoner of spacetime
He now bathes in the mirage of Utopia
cleansing himself of perfunctory grime.

He sets out to do his Master's bidding
naively undaunted by untested waters.
He flirts with Danger, the dusky beauty,
one of his Master's many daughters.

His Master is a serial arsonist;
He ignites every open mind he dwells.
He's the charioteer to his own ironic slave
riding the horses through boos and yells.

They enter the battlefield with the World as their foes
They let out a battlecry that shudders every soul.
The fiery Master is Himself the weapon
their army as much as white on coal.

And yet they take on the mighty Earth,
blazing their way through the mundane hostility.
They slog, they fight, and in the end,
the adversary bows down with all humility.

The pen, they say, is mightier than the sword.
But to whose melody are inklings a symphonic choir?
The ink of a pen has paper to rest, the sword has the sheath.
But does a Thought rest anywhere, as it spreads like wild fire?
