Alpha & Omega

By Rajani Kanth

 

World’s a beach

by a cruel sea

 

where

breakers  crash

on, senselessly –

 

moon chafes

behind

the cringing trees

 

clouds whirl

aimless

 

on  a  bobbling

breeze

 

to be

and not

to be

 

bumbling  on,

but vacuously

*

no shards

of meaning

 

no shades

of light

 

tumbling

down

 

quite

insight- free

**

 

A pagan heart,

the savage

mind

 

live noble:

pass,

Unheedingly

 

but ,

all aspiring

 

as is our

feint

 

we flail,

in dudgeon –

 

despairingly

*

 

world’s

a beach

 

by  a cruel

sea

 

as nothing to

nothing –

 

sink,

you and me –

 

Seekers

 

with but naught

to find

 

bleak,

in heart

bare,

of mind

 

expiring,

so very   –

 

vagrantly

*

It  will

roll on –

 

Endlessly –

 

the beach,

the breeze,

the cruel sea

 

and the moon

that blanches –

Unmovedly

 

If All’s Impervious:

and Nothing’s

To be:

 

What, then,

availeth,

you and me?
