It can be difficult to get far beyond where I am,
I listen….
I hear the shadows of time uncaught by the sundials,
Murmuring about the universe’s life cycle.
I haven’t decided yet of where to lay the frontier between what is real and what is imaginary,
Because I just want to say “hello” to the unknown.
Where were we before we were born? Were we?
Where does the soul live?
Our heads have been nodding together through the thousands of years,
Our concept of matter remains unchanged,
Atomic events are hovering in the container that is our body and soul,
Trying to balance between finite and eternity.
I am part of the single, fragile human family,
I believe in light and sparkles,
I defy the soul-matter corroding glorification of human life,
For energy, time, matter, all brought together, surpass us all.

This is a very thoughtful and challenging poem. These are universal questions that everyone asks, some think they have answers to, but all still are yet to be proven. I guess we will see when the time comes!

I too would like to whisper to the unknown – to converse for an hour or two – let it tell me so many secrets – we know so much and so little – I wish I knew more

Me too, it could be that we are not meant to know …

Some very beautiful imagery in this poem as well as interesting philosophical speculations that have engaged me too. In particular the question of what is real and what is not real, and the question of where we were before birth, as well as the converse question of where we will go after death.
