The rock splits the river

The eternal flow

The rock splits
the river in two
Why did you do that?
The rock was asked
I am big and strong it replied
That is why!

The river flows on either side
Letting the rock be in the centre
Why did you do that?
The river was asked.
I flow eternally
That is why!

The rock won, they all cried
River sang gleefully
Rock is rooted, I flow
The rock would eventually wither
I will always remain
I never lost
That is why!

The rock will be sand
I carry to the ocean
In the ocean we merge
Where there is no rock, no river
None the winner,
And no loser
That is why!

What, Where, Why, When? Who will answer?

What is it?
Who am I?
A piece of glittering diamond
Or a wretched impure

Where am I?
Where is it?
In the arms secure
Or in a stifling trap

Why is that?
Why am I?
Alive sometime
Asleep sometimes

When did it happen?
When did I exist?
I am here
Where else would I be

What’s in store for me?
What did I ever have?
Out there, is empty
In here, it’s me

Sky in the eye

The sky I must reach
The clouds I must pierce
Sun the scorcher
lying beyond the cloud
Must look him in the eye

The moon and the stars
Hang on the dome
Keeping the world
Encased within
Maintaining the semblance of the lie

The dark space
Beyond and in between
Fills every thing
And still remains empty
But seen with the closed eye

I have traveled for so long
It’s been many lives
I am beyond the sun, moon and stars
Floating in the emptiness
But have still not reached the sky

In the empty expanse
I stop moving
I no longer seek or see
I am where I began
I see the sky in the pupil of my eye
