Poem Title:
Poem
In the whisper of twilight, where shadows meet the edge of dreams, Lies the truth of our times, a somber murmur carried by the wind of mediocrity. Once, the soul soared with the ambition of stars; now, the commonplace mind, Knowing itself to be mediocre, proclaims its right to mediocrity, And imposes its dullness wherever it can. Life, in its raw essence, is insipid—a mere act of "being there. " Thus, for man, existence transforms into a poetic endeavor, A task akin to that of the playwright or novelist: To invent a narrative thread for his existence, to give it character, Making it both suggestive and beguiling. In the stillness of midnight, under the quilt of countless stars, The mediocre soul may contemplate its right to mediocrity, Spreading its mundane essence across the tapestry of time. And yet, in this silent rebellion, a melancholic magic awakens, weaving truths into metaphors. Man, that being wrapped in thoughts and desires, Finds the fabric of mere existence distasteful, Turning to diversions as an essential art, a salvation from the void of simply being. Thus, in the corridors of the mind, he creates unseen worlds, Where every heartbeat whispers a symphony of purpose. The commonplace mind may seek to impose its dull hue upon the vibrant canvas of life, But the heart, in its secret chambers, remains an alchemist, Turning leaden moments into golden narratives, Inventing threads that shine with unseen light, characters that dance in the shadow of the mundane. Serious examination reveals the existential melancholy, The distaste for the unembellished universe, the thirst for something more. Here, in the crucible of thoughts, we distill our dreams, Creating a life both poetic and profound, beyond the mere act of "being there. " For man, existence must transcend the assertion of the mediocre, Must rise like a phoenix from the ashes of the ordinary, Towards a realm where every breath is a verse, each moment a chapter, In the endless novella of a soul's journey. Thus, in the flux of consciousness, thoughts flow like rivers, Carving new paths through the wilderness of the mind, Where even the mediocre soul, in its quiet rebellion, Might find a spark of the extraordinary, Transforming existence from insipid to inspired, From mere being to profound becoming.
