[1]
Pondering
by the sea shore,
the vast
expanse
of the
land baffled me!
Gazing at
the sunset and beyond,
why would
not the fathomless
stretch
of eternity,
overwhelm
my soul?
[2]
Happiness,
peace,
‘elan’ passion-
the first
two required
for
order, sanity,
imperative
for our days.
Without
the next two,
however,
wouldn’t I be
like some
dead wood
cast into
the flaming fire,
with the
core of
my being
sorely aborted?
[3]
Be not
love’s fool in this
metaphor
of chaos!
Rather be
love’s victor
and clear
the trail.
Don’t we
believe it is better
to be
safe than sorry?
Pragmatics
over Aesthetics?
