Darkness Revisited - The Moment

Our brain gives us the power to visualize things without a movie screen. In real life we can only look at one screen, but in our brain we are simultaneously able to see a lot of different screens.The events which had taken a couple of hours or may be days, may be months to finish can just be visualized in moments. Imagine the power of brain, the kind of multitasking it performs. This power reaches its zenith during the last moment - Death. Everything that has happened happens once again and this time it all happens in a moment. The moment of death provides the life its climax.

Recently I have been fascinated by the concept of Death. It is as true as the life is. Its just a moment, yet it complements a whole lifetime. The more we are scared, the more we will be thrilled by the beauty of that moment. Everything would vanish and everything would make sense and all of it in a moment. There it comes like a flash and you seem to lost in it forever.

When I am writing this post, I smile at myself. I have the luxury to live my life without the hardships, I have seen in lot other lives, yet I write this note, because I can afford the luxury to write this note and think in this manner. There are millions out there who struggle to get their second meal of the day and I sit here, nicely in air conditioned rooms to think, express myself and write my blog, yet I don't think it takes away the beauty of their moment.

Its the moment which is entirely yours, nobody else has even a bit in it. Nobody needs to fight for it to own it, as it was always theirs and always will be, till the eternity. All the lies vanish and only the ultimate truth prevails - Death.

The Blue Hood!

There is somebody in the blue hood,
'could see the black mark,
& the shining metal
Lips pierced &
a flash of fire in the hands,
I think its me
a funky version of me
trying to weld the connections

the blue hood is falling on the face,
couldn't see the eyes thus,
spotted the ring though
reflecting the flash,
the serpentine S,
I think its me
in the dark humid cave
trying to weld the connections

Standing, stiff,
His hands with the flash, steady
trying to weld the connections, perfectly
but the heat 's too much
to continue dreaming
I open up my eyes
all covered in the sweat
& my fingers trembling.
