where does amor vincit omni fit in?
a high wire act over elated dust
prayer poles, oars of wistful murmurs
negotiate life's tightrope - crossed
with bravado, faith laced lunacy,
and skepticism tinged fear
gingerly afloat over the ground
beneath the wire
today, blindness shrouds and not much
remains discernible - the end of the rope
ground, net, hope - all distant sighs
they walk in trepidawe laced with hazy hope
unsure of what beckons and yet happily
the simpletons tread the trapeze
stunned blissfully in their make-believe world
when our time is up, we go down
and despite nurtured beliefs, misgivings, delusions, wishful thinking, conditioning, prayers without wings, they're individual fables of mirth, joy, sadness, melancholy and bravado - alive for others - dead within — a speck of dust on the vast shoreline of this universe...ignorant, unaware and un-recognizant of sun's spread nor moon's carpet...floating and coasting...at the whim of currents
hay insaaN ki qudrat maiN na insaaN hona! fiq't sahil-e-alam ka zarra hona
what of purpose, goal, religion, life, living
and arrogance - amor vincit omni...
but tell me love, where does love fit in
in a beached rudder-less boat?
