Glimpse of Truth

Golden strings of life singing exuberance of birth
Silver strings of death ringing grievance of fate
Between life and death wandered cotton clouds
Shedding shine of sun or pouring useless tears

Winding mysteries of labyrinths lying ahead
Waiting to tread to a denizen of paradise
O man, your frenzied footsteps of lies sure ‘ll fail
When the holy glimpse of truth in the florid firmament.

Does not matter who we are or where we live, we are all given glimpses of what is to come and how to prepare, but in modern world the glimpse is like a dream we soon forget or choose not to remember. I pray for your safety and peace of mind with all that is unfolding at moment. Best regards David in NZ

Lies sprout on the side of the earth I live in. Chicago may be the epicenter of lies in North America, in fact. Oops. Forgot about Cuba. OK We're #2... As for the Middle East, I'll only say that Egyptians thought that their country won the 1967 Six-Day War with Israel until 1973. (They were utterly smeared, as you probably know). lol. Truth doesn't stand much of a chance around here really. It's the holy grail, all right... :) gw

lol... Thanks for the funny comments Gershon.. Lies sure will sprout, but when the rays of truth hit them strong, they will die..

Darn, you have hit this topic with easy grace, poetic flair. Golden and silver threads of life and death. I am so impressed with your ability to fit so much in to your sweetly worded poems. ncredibly sage notes. Wonderful write, Jenish.
