Could you see through
Through the veil of truth
Through the magic melodies of the mystical flute
Through all of that which is displayed
Blinded by the mundane
You have forgotten how to see
How to see truth
How to see that which is necessary
Blinded and enraptured by what this world offers
You have forgotten that the sole winner remains Death
Death, who comes, unbidden
Death, who urges us to see, just see, plainly!
Pray, I wish to see through
Through this façade seeming both hazardous
And pleasant
I wish to see through so that I may understand about existence!
Yes, existence, which is so baffling
Ready to turn us into slaves of its many arrays
Ready to bind us into its confused mess
Ready to have us believe, that truth is that which we do see!
Why, if only I could see through
Through the veil of truth
Be sure that I would thrust it unto you
So that no more shall you be blinded by that which you see!
An excellent,insightful,introspective, and philosophical poem.
Thk you dear poet friend 🙂
The author traverses deep existential waters with customary poetic aplomb.
Thk you for this complementing comment Mr Kasatkin 🙂
Death is the only truth. But, often we forget it, and live as if we are going to live forever.
Sadly…….most of us forget about it and let ourselves drown in the mundane……..thk you so much for this lovely comment Rashmi 🙂
