Before birth I was the universe All knowing, all embracing Molecules of beauty in floating meditations I was everywhere Then............ The darkness......... The womb....... I begot limbs and flesh Imprisoned inside this human frailty I was freed, exposed, pushed, fallen into humanity Lights, voices, sins, I screamed They cut off my only bond to the universe Here, a baby an orphan of the heavens Imprisoned upon the imperfections of human realms Hell................. The holy book of sins........... The great sadness......... I miss the cosmic beauty Stuck here, the devils collection of earthly kin Days... weeks.....decades…. despair...... I plotted and planned The great escape From this finite boxed in land I begged the infinite, and danced with infinity The universe waltzed I twirled with insightful delight Soon, to be rejoined with eternal light To be free, to roam the stars My death, now rejoined with the heavens and all of thee You visit, candles and crocus upon Parisian stone I am neither there or even here any more I have become what I once was, healed and whole All knowing, all embracing I am God, the universe once more

Light and Darkness, both hold immense power. Man thinks himself great yet surely we are a tiny , tiny speck in a small galaxy that may even in itself contain other tiny specks light-years away.. The Universe sings-we may join in but for a very, very brief moment(A MERE BLINK OF THE EYE). Deep and strong verses my friend... A7

Thanks Richard! This was inspired by a great Persian poet, Ghalib, I merely retold a story of sorts!

Than you, this was inspired by a great poet far wiser than I, Ghalib

Fear not death, it is what awaits us all, you go where there is no pain, no fear, and at peace, and there you see everyone and everything you ever loved, people pets and so much to love, Blessed Be and namaste to all, love and light be you guide!
