The Maybe Of Life Poem by Meng Lim Dr

THE MAYBE OF LIFE


The maybe of life

has a strange fascination

often more real

than the present


as in reverie or images

in some sweet dreams

what's to be is a world of its own

the miracle of what seems.


How weak is reason

in its limited dimension

fancy is an endless kaleidoscope

that stretches to the labyrinth of the furthest domain.


How tame and dull is certainty

enclosed in self-satisfied constraint

it ceases to look beyond

the maybe of life it looks in disdain
