Here's a poem I've written during those times of uncertainty. <br /><br /><br /><b>On Being</b><br /><br />The mind is a driftwood<br />Riding the will of a dark mysterious sea.<br />It is the verse written in luminous ink<br />On a dark sheet<br />That is the only page of the only book<br />That is hidden in a secret corner<br />In the labyrinth of God's heart.<br />It is also the endless yarn<br />Used by Him to knit the intricate pattern<br />of universe's story.<br /><br />And if by looking at the stars sprinkled<br />like sugar on the face of the night<br />I may taste the meaning of existence,<br />I'll fold time like a handkerchief<br />And let it sleep in my pocket<br />so it won't interfere<br />While I lick heaven's cheeks<br />with my gaze.Pastilanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023366377650040137noreply@blogger.com
