Oh God
I am rushing and racing
for apprehending this which is charming
stirring and breathless
for accumulating that which is explicit
initiating this and maneuvering that
for obtaining the eminence
performing that and venturing this
to measure the absoluteness
if this globe is the absoluteness
than you are a fallacy
if you are the matter-of-factness
then this globe is not true
and tragically I belong to the globe
Oh God...

This one always makes me feel a bit sad when I read it, Prabhu...I think it is the word 'tragically'...definitely emotes a desolate heart...But I do wonder...aren't we all a part of both...HIM and this world?...can we not stand in both places so long as we remember from Whom and Where all comes to us and not cling to the things but to the Giver? Is not this globe to be a garden for us as well as a home? I see the point you have made of running after material things and thinking they are the goal, but the last part of the poem is the stronger idea expressed, for me, and so I am wondering ...As always, a wonderful write that makes me stop and reexamine all...Peace, Rhonda

Oh my!
Stop the world I wanna get off! Yes, He is the Absolute! He is The Truth & that is a matter of fact. The world truly is in a spin of accumulation & greed. The way of the world is not true. He created the earth & the system now in control of the evil one is not the system that will prevail! Truth is coming. HalleluYah!!!

It is very contemplative of the world we live in.

It is truly a dilemma we all face. Feeling lost within it can lead to some dreadfully dark days. Very profound words...

You've done your job well...placing your heart where called. Your words will have no end placed within his hands.

Yeah. I get this one. If you're rushing around trying to please everybody and yourself, then you lose sight of God. And if you're tryin to please Him, all's well in the universe. Cool write. Luck to you. WAM

Very nice
So many thoughts are flooding into my head with this one. I too feel like in the grand scheme of things that I'm more or less a hologram. That nothing we do is original having all been done before. Awesome write and good luck in the contest.

Light and dark...balanced piece...
Felt this one powerfully, my friend...a very good jump off from Sylvia Plath's prompt. Peace and best of luck in the contest. Rhonda
