Treading Into The Unknown Poem by rajagopal haran

Place of confinement chucking out
The liability of many a life
Born blind to the revelation that
Veil is drawn on the mysterious good!

Taking the form mortal
From the eternal light faraway
Calamity is my providence
Fire and vengeance inlaid!

Light and mercy in my command
Visiting the valley unknown
Stop at the station Death
Too far to go in the plane of limitation!

Wayfarer in the valley
Seeing no defect in the creation
Gaze deep into the essence of being
Gauging the coalesced opinions!

Postulates of beliefs parading parallel
Seized by fear at what may be happen
Start counting on the riddles
To experience a connection anywhere!

Starting the journey from a cave pitch dark
Confinement limited in the time environs
And life meant for the greater
See the glimpse of light trying to accustom!

Is my soul so tender to take on the revelation?
No other option except to love Him?
Prove my devotion to His awed glory?
Overcoming the doubt a challenge in my search!

Inevitable sacrifice and surrender to the unknown
To reach the threshold of Divine mercy!
Love of wisdom propels me to escape
The ignorance down the blind alley!

Is it absorption in the absolute?
Nay! Movement towards perfection!
Unable to see the things as they are
Agitate my soul as the rat in the trap!

If answers to these questions
Were commonplace commodities
There will be no seeker
Nor any illusion that I possess the truth!

It is my love that emboldens me
To charge headlong onto the unknown!
Descends the self-effacing discipline
To contemplate on the mysteries of the soul!
