Pause Of Polarity Interchange


An unseen lamp hidden in the realm of the mind
someone kindles to light up the dark gaps of thought.  
Unperceived, it creates the beams of contemplation,
illumines the concealed pathway of the destined journey.

The paused thoughts create an intricate mental fresco, 
the time transcendence makes it ostensibly self-radiant, 
enmeshing the soul within the maze of the craving ego
that designs the forlorn corridor for the lonely journey.

As the lamp gets extinguished by the self-created gale,
awareness is lost in the abysmal depth of darkness.
The willful psyche clings to the sense of entrapped self,
getting confined within the bubble of illusion.

The obsessive free-will seemingly dormant,
enwraps the misty mind with an unreal veil, 
for the free-rule tenets morph the ego into a trap
in the sphere of the fantasized self-deception.

In the ensnaring realm of fabricated passion  
the cage of self-image captures the deceptive being.  
As life swings on the cradle of the lingering time,
reflective pause causes the polarity interchange of acuity.
