I Am # 04 Poem by MAHTAB BANGALEE

I Am # 04

Rating: 5.0


As the essence of water
I am flowing over the entire world
I've power of over flowing
Absorbs me the sand;
Absorbs me the mud,
But I survive easily in them
I live long into them as vivacious life

The Fire burn all
But I can defeat them
With the power of cover
Hold the fire in my cold harbor

The air rules over me
Constrain me hither to thither
But I am everywhere staying as detectable
The air hidden into me as invisible

Wanted I am in dark!
I want to see the dark
But dark is not visible to me,
I want to hear but dark is not audible,
I want to feel it
But nothing I find to feel as constituent
I want to touch lonely,
Not even at this touching point
I am hopeless.
I want to devour it
Helpless I am also here,
Now I am coming on me-
To meditate on it
‘O failure chaser' the dark said-
‘You are a fool of sight,
Have no power in your eyes,
For the light of sun,
For the lit of moon,
For the burning brightness of fire
You see; you see all.'
‘O failure' the dark said-
‘There is no dark
I am the essence of your entity from the beginning
You are raw existence of the genesis
Open you inner eyesight; look there is no dark,
What you do not see that is for your absent of inner eyesight! ‘

it's difficult to make poetic the thoughts that are philosophic, but the moon (Mahtab) is capable of changing sunlight into moonlight.

powerful strong philosophical writing on inner self - O failure' the dark said- ‘There is no dark I am the essence of your entity from the beginning You are raw existence of the genesis Open you inner eyesight; look there is no dark, What you do not see that is for your absent of inner eyesight! ‘

There is no dark I am the essence of your entity from the beginning... A very sublime philosophical poem indeed.
