A DESIGN IS BORN

 


A DESIGN IS BORN

 

-       P C K Prem (India)

 

As I roam about leisurely

a pattern in this I want to understand,

it is one of a mysterious quality 

a quality I do not share

like a scent in puff of air,

one locates some truth

before it merges in the body

and so gets diluted as the virtue

of immortality is lost.

 

Here, your dreams of deep sleep,

enact drama of reality

that did not exist outside

and you continue the search in vain.

 Inner peace non-existent

a mere notional certainty it maybe

of identity inventing its own location

still not known.
