By Has eye seen the last threshold of life
shirking from a glance at the void beyond?
The void a throwback to the valley of chaos
before the Big Bang?
Or the smell of life born out of it spreading
Into an aroma of beauty that still
beams light into awe-struck eyes?
Myriad vistas of sculptural motifs –
Palace of Versailles, the gardens of Babylon,
the Qutab Minar, pyramidal symmetry,
radiant Taj – and many more spinning a saga of
astounding brain work and deft craft.
Have they lost out on the eye?
Is the mind emptied out of the search
….. almost busted by the nauseating
reality of perceived nothingness?
Is earth that flew out of the Bang
caught in the web of climate disorder,
stock busts, cultural atrophy?
Come Red Star! Let the fatigued eye
scan your fiery empty plains;
And put up a makeshift shanty
to rest the limbs; then take a deep
breath to look for a green horizon.
