Notes About The Poem

This poem is included in my Book/eBook ‘Clive’s Uni-Verse – A Cornishman’s take on life’.  Published by Olympia Publishers in Jan 2022.

 

Darkened Room

Have you ever sat and pondered
In a darkened room;
Reality melting away
In the murky gloom,
Ignoring gravity's attempts
To try and hold you tight,
Heading off into space on a
Magic-carpet flight?

Did you explore the Universe,
Travel through all time,
Contemplate your own existence;
Even think of mine?

Did you ever find the answer,
To the question, Why?
Did you really want to return from
Flying through the sky?

Did you come back with a jolt when
Someone came in the room,
Did the bright light startle you;
Did reality resume?

Profound questions in simple terms, almost impossible to comprehend. Anyone yearning for absolute answers while being flesh an impossible task, until the spirit is freed at last. My humble take, Clive. Great write!...ab
