Sliver the Soul

Sliver the Soul 





Had it been easy to construe meaning of life,
Logical mind would stop digging and being keen,
No fear of death could put an end to all strife,
As we unveil treasures of nature umpteen,
Sliver half the soul that doesn't believe in unseen.

Maybe the logical mind will never see or sense but then in some moment have it dawn, but only later on. What a thought to realize you've gone through life half blind. These are such lovely words, compressed to just five lines and so fit to savor, as I do.

I'm beginning to wonder if life does have a meaning, Upma. Greed and vanity seem to rule this planet. I doubt that is what we're here for. Great write!
