Morning Star

by Satish Verma   Jul 21, 2015


There was no beginning
no ending.
Beyond tomorrow
you will be, what you were not.
Words would disappear,
only meaning will be left.

The interval ceases to be
from 'wasness' to open pathway.
When you are not ready
I will be there to lift the veil.

My total pain surges forward today.
Quietly death opens the door
to welcome the lost child,
whose burden was his taste.

Farewell to the visitors of night.
The morning star is rising.

    Love this. This is very similar to one of my poems. The surreal fiber is so real to me. It is what I call poetical reality. The platonic weave:
    "Words would disappear,
    only meaning will be left."
    gives it a vivid poetic sensibility. The one that is out of reach in 'sensible reality.'

    "The interval ceases to be" is profound reveals the arbitrary aspect of space. Though I am confused in the use of 'wasness'
    Once more it is a platonic theme that death is kind of relief for the "lost childe whose burden was his taste." This works either way, whether if the taste itself is unbearable, or if regardless of being unbearable or pleasant, still, in itself, is a burden.

    And perhaps the death is the morning star, a wake up in " The City of Utopia"
