the journey away from life....

And the world passes by...as i stare out from the barred windows of my eye,i see the lustrous green mingling wth the brown of the earth,the visions cluster and dismantle... like autumnal leaves drifting on the ripples of the springly winds...in one frameless glance we attempt to summon the green,the blue,nd the brown...And yet all is lost in one instant, for the pace of our journey ahead is too rigorous,too mighty to halt and sucor up the juices of life...and visions after visions arrive...enthralling,quenching,interrogating nd demanding...but alas! all momentry for what are these trivial landscapes compared to the terrains we are to embrace...the terrains of wealth and the joys of luxury, the slavery to flesh and the pains of maintainence...no certainly these crystals arent meant to be collected...just walk by them and on them.....
We are too caught up in gathering the illussionary mirrors with which we adorn the walls of our lives...and at the loci of these closed and impregnable walls we stand, seeing ourselves all around... in every myopic mirror...WE are the nucleous of our existence....for the silver glossed glasses dont reflect the other side,what lies beyond the twilight....

So engulfed in the concentric circles of the self are we that we've forgottn to notice the trembling of the leaves in the soft breeze, the stooping of trees in spring, the sliding dew drop over a slippery leaf, the rustlings of nature, the dancing in the rain, the beauty of sleep under some shady tree, the writing of poetry in some rocky trove, the prismic colours of the skies after the rains, the gentle brush of the waves against our feet, the caresses of the wind on a winter night....
We pass non-chalantly the old man selling sculptures on the redlight, we never seek his eyes for the stories they have to tell, we walk by the young pauper ignoring his hands and the brutal destiny engraved there in, we never glance at that little girl selling bangles and remain forever oblivious of her divine beauty.....

So occupied with ourselves,we even ignore the most vital of questions...wot are we aspiring to achieve, what heights are to be conquered and what joys to be tasted at the loss of so much? What destinations in life are we walking towards ,leaving the essence of life far behind...lurking somewhere in the paths we have traversed...trampled under our hurrying feet............
