The Epiphany

My heart gladdens 
Seeing bright lights at midnight 
I survived another concept of time.

My spirit resonates with the strings of life 
Brooding on our sheer existence 
How we live?
What we live for?
And what’s after this life?

It always seems meaningless
Dying to live when you are living to die 
Our reality a sweet oxymoron 

What if we didn’t know evil
What if we didn’t know pain
What if we didn’t have to face fears
What if we were immortal 

No one has forever I reckon,
I sometimes envy the dying 
Inclined with their numbered days 
No more odds to beat in this cruel world 

I believe the universe has forces
Controlling our spirits steadily 
I believe this is not the end 
May the spirits hear us solemnly

Like the magi let us see our stars
Order our steps even through darkness 
Let us fall prostrate in praise at the solemn shores of this roaring ocean
And never let us back on the road of evil

Who do I believe in?
Something much greater than our existence 
So mysterious only death can explain 
So I tell the lost and wanderer
If you hear His voice , harden not your heart

The Northern Shakespeare.
