Split Wide Open
Even heart of a hard rock is revealed when split,
Secrets are hidden midst atom-fibers well-knit;
Thinnest of hair should be split open for research,
Wisdom is hidden even within nooks of birch...
Hard terrain under earth-surface has precious gold
Minerals many the womb of earth does unfold;
Digging the mind deep does bring forth numerous thoughts,
The depth of heart has innumerable love spots...
The world is a treasure; though its surface seems blank,
Vast are the marvels whose author we need to thank;
Impossibilities give way when split open;
Volumes of truths revealed when silence is broken...
Suspicions never more hidden; innocence proved;
Hidden thoughts and feelings, like pristine sky, well smoothed;
Life, like an encyclopedia, truths reveal,
Each moment and movement brings perpetual zeal...!
