Otherwise... There Is No. Poem by jayaprakash panicker

The centre is able to hold
and no thing do not fall apart.
If we could hold it that in life
there is hardly any 'otherwise'.

IT is what it really is
is the thing of all things
that we sadly fail to realise
and wail of parting things.

Why this is why that is not
why that is, why this is not
just closing one's eyes
is what it costs to see these.

then see how the centre holds
and things fail to fall apart.
