Enigma

I wanted to write about you

my dear human

A truthful short tale

without ornamental attributes

Give you an ordinary title ,

woven in simple explanation

However I am not a paragon of knowledge

nor mother of wisdom ,

to be able , to find a way

how to bring to light

your many forms

Your ever changing

mirrored reflections

Like you , I am also

a creature of this world

Traveller on the same planet

Your creation ,

carrier of your ideas

A follower of ingrained

imposed materialism

Truth is hard to see

through a blind window

Feelings can be cold

like steel chain , where

each ring represents

a different ray of thought

An enigma with which

you cover , your true intentions

You pull one load and

and the other you self create ,

till each load becomes an unavoidable

penalty of life

Out of a clear spring

you create a whirlpool

Out of a peaceful river

a force of destruction

Then , there comes a time

when amassed assets

don’t fill you with joy

Neither wars , famine or

endless human suffering

You seek forgiveness and

redemption from your victims ,

by turning the torrent into

flowing waters of peace

with life uninterrupted

A new birth under the surface

in rapture of glittering splendour

And I wish I could write a tale about you ,

with a happy ending ,

If only I could believe you

If only I could believe in a miracle

of change…..
