Singularity of the Plurality

Sandeep Kumar Mishra
Scene & Heard (SNH)

--

As the eyes blink to face the sun

Life trembles with the lack of air,

The birth never meets the death

As soul wants to escape the body;

One force guides the other

As the soul is muscle-bound,

Two forces work together

Sometimes indifferently

But they needn’t exist at a place;

The monism nullifies our lives

As nothing that we do, ultimately survives,

No progress or flaws, nothing begins or ends,

The world is not like that, it is full of blind fjord,

Never finished, never the same twice

Lost as we hold, always to be regained,

Perfection is a fallen fruit

Between that meaning and the matter;

Our desire to get that supreme state

Plasters each aperture by numb ideal of white

Universal, refusing to allow Division or dispersal;

If man is an image of God, the god disintegrates

Man is man because once he was a beast,

The Man is crazy with resentment, he is dashed

By good hopes or bad dreams against the world,

But conscious of the joy of things and the power

Of going beyond and above the limits of time
