Living In A Flicker Poem by Ehsan Ehsan

LIVING IN A FLICKER
A game of light and darkness
Is always going on in the heart of man
When there is light man is thinking of himself
As the crown of entire creatures
But when there is darkness he is changed to
Nothingness living in darkness
That condition however does remain permanent
There is again a flicker of light
And he again holds his head high
Till that light vanishes and he is engulfed
Into the sea of darkness, he begins to think
Of the drama that is being staged on him
He ponders and ponders, after all
Why is it happening so with him
He comes to know of the darkness
Which is a state of nothingness but what is that light?
What is the source of its coming?
Wherefrom it comes out and where to it goes
He begins to pursue. There are some men however
Who at last find that source of light?
Those are bestowed with insight and know
The secret of the game, the rest of us
Remain throughout their lives
Into only the flicker, till they breathe their lost.
