Pause

Life flows unhindered, the soul within glows undisturbed

Who are we then in this play?

It’s a question that begs us to Pause the ongoing display.

If soul is a witness and the world outside is just matter, lifeless; then we need to ask who is launching an enquiry in this chatter.  

You say, you don’t believe in beyond mortal,

Those who have gone on seeking have found that portal.

It is here, somewhere, within us,

A firefly, in the darkness it surrounds us.

The rush of the day keeps us busy,

At night the buried doubts raise existential queries.      

We see yet forget the unassuming light during the day,

Let it darken a bit more, you’ll pause to take note of the firefly’s glow.
