Heart Of The Matter

by Satish Verma   Aug 13, 2013


A man,
in the shadow of a child,
walks, for the sake of
phylogenesis.

The Great Bustard,
was on the brink of
extinction. Somebody
was not an achiever.

Seeking,
an inborn god in thighs,
for running faster than light,
weightless, faceless.

Dust will take,
dust for the dark matter
sequencing a disaster.
The animal within roars.

    A man,
    in the shadow of a child,
    walks, for the sake of
    phylogenesis.

    ^^This opening stanza creates an image
    with lots to think about. Where an adult walks
    down a path in the woods where he once used
    to go when he was a child perhaps..?

    The Great Bustard,
    was on the brink of
    extinction. Somebody
    was not an achiever.

    ^^Either this is talking about a person/or one
    of nature's spot that has failed to achieve its
    beauty or goal...I'm just guessing here.

    Seeking,
    an inborn god in thighs,
    for running faster than light,
    weightless, faceless.

    ^^An interesting stanza here. I've old mythological images playing through my mind
    while reading this!

    Dust will take,
    dust for the dark matter
    sequencing a disaster.
    The animal within roars.

    ^^Hmmm..you know this poem has got my mind working really hard to grasp the meaning behind these words. Reading this to me it shows that patience has limits..whether it refers to human or nature.

    All in all a very intriguing read that has gotten me to think deep into it...good one!
