Poem
In the twilight of our consciousness, where shadows intertwine with subtle grace, I wander through endless corridors, seeking truths in this forsaken place. This world, the sole reality, with all its terror and tender embrace, Demands our love, lest we lose ourselves in imaginary space. Through the labyrinth of thoughts, where dreams and fears entwine, I glimpse the dismal utopias, where false hopes align. The politicians' empty promises, like stars that cease to shine, And the futile whispers of reward, which the misled call divine. How can we live in a realm where terror and beauty blend, And not surrender our hearts to this paradox without end? For if we scorn this earthly tether, where shadows and light amend, We fall into self-deceit, where illusions grow and bend. In the deep valleys of our souls, where echoes of existence ring, We must find the courage to embrace this world, its horror and its spring. To love it in its entirety, in every tear and triumph, to cling, For in this acceptance lies our freedom, where only truth can bring. The utopias of the misguided are but mirages on the sand, Promises that dissolve in time, slipping through our hand. We must root ourselves in the present, in this tangible land, Where terror and wonder coexist, a realm we must understand. The religion of the future, a whisper of comforting lies, Attempts to mask the terror, but leads to our demise. The imaginary world, an echo that never satisfies, Dispels the fragrant beauty that in the present flies. In this sacred waltz of thoughts, where consciousness aligns, I strive to love this world, with all its dark and bright designs. To see the terror as part of life, where beauty too refines, A place where dreams and reality, in perfect balance, combine. Through the misty veils of day and night, where dawn's first light appears, I walk the path of acceptance, embracing hopes and fears. For only in loving this world, with all its pain and cheers, Can we find our truest selves, beyond the false veneers. So let us cherish the terror, and the beauty that it brings, And love this world in its entirety, to the rhythm of its wings. For in this dance of reality, where every shadow sings, We find the essence of our being, the truth in all things.
