Enigma Poem by yoonoos peerbocus

Enigma

Rating: 4.7


The enigma of
where mental anguish ends
and
where real consciousness starts
in the void between
each successive thoughts
seems two opposites but in fact
is a juxtaposition of perspective
that sets and resets the terms
of seeing the same state.they are
primordial twins
sworn since birth, never to be
in the same space
at the same time.
there is a wakefulness within us
as in dream.when it recognises
two opposing states it grows stronger.

An enchanting piece talking about the inner beauty rather than the skin-deep superficiality. The deep insight and the masterly craftsmanship are things which a beginner can pick up.10

Highly philosophical representation of what we call beauty- which generally evokes sensuous feelings in common human beings. Very thought provoking and inspiring poem. Thanks. Beauty..... intoxicates both the holder and beholder. such beauty is eyes' food..... but the soul's sorrow.

They say, the flow of thoughts and emotions, even opposite in nature, is mind. It is the nature of the mind to think constantly. Also, I understand, consciousness, the blissful type, is the fractional silence between two thoughts. Two opposite states, what a beautiful and enigmatic concept! The quantum scientists have recently talked about this.

parallel steps- march ahead together from the one of sight on the ovate things - a step is crystal clear but another step is out of reaching and from the another sight on the ovate thins- the same event upper of these sights - all are same so need to make greatest our sight; inter-sight..............
