The Ultimate

Light sniggered  at the gloom, grilled it,
Darkness dissembled behind the tree,

Straggling bushes seemed an eternal resort,
Ignorance can have life for a wee,

Sound asleep, I shell out my little knowledge,
Of still, of dream, of existence weeny,

Knowledge and ignorance converge into the soul
Flicked a spark, united man and woman.

Commanded for light and there was light,
Water, food everything aplenty,

Water is wine, sky is knowledge, the Sun is the teacher,
Lure of freedom enamours, Oh break the shackles

Intuitive genius sparkles in twinkling stars,
Blue canopy of humanitism spreads moonlight.

A journey to the infinite is near to divinity,
Ego is a pot with limited selfish space,
Once broken, it acquires limitless space.

Clouds appear and disappear like stray throughts,
The blue of the is wisdom that perenially remains,

infinite blue sky representing time and spce
Phenomena of Science encroach the mind serene.

Every flower, every tender leaf, every light,
Makes me bow my head in reverence!

When melancholy spreads, wisdom floats.
A search to infinite penetrates into self,
To acquire universal wisdom, Ultimate it is.
