The Third Line

The third line…


There are only three lines in creation.
 Each will guide you to your own destination.
If you just want to know what is our God’s will,
You have to read and learn my revelation.
Our God’s first line is a hard one to make out,
Only he knows to read that line; we’re in doubt.
He wrote it, and he can read it, and that’s all,
We have no understanding throughout.

The first line is the line that he doesn’t share.
He and only he knows what was written there.
We are asking a thousand why questions,
We are just wondering, wonder in despair. 
We are so desperate, asking how come us.
How come we are alive making a big fuss?
We are just particles, randomly exist,
We have no idea what’s there to discuss.

Second line is the simple one, we all know.
We know how certain things make certain things grow.
We know death will be our last friend in this life.
We know that with the love, we certainly glow.
Second line is written by God for us men,
we can all understand it now and then.
We are hoping that one day, we can all learn,
Where did we come from, where we’re going when?

But let me tell you now, what is the third line? 
The line that God even does not know its sign.
He wrote it, but he does not know what he wrote,
Maybe he was drunk, asking for more wine.
The third line is the line when read; you will cry.
It is me since he does not know who am I.
I promise that if I see him the next day,
I will ask him you had your fun; let me fly.

wow this is a very thought-provoking poem. I need to come back to this tomorrow when I'm more awake so I can read it carefully and ponder it. Did you do that painting? It's pretty.

Pashang: What a multi-talented artist. In this case, I got lost in the poetry but found great interest in the painting. Thanks for sharing both with all of us on the soup. oldbuck

Pashang, you asked me why? on my last poem, and the same can be said of this one. GREAT poetry also tells so profoundly are deepest and saddest thoughts as this one. I saw it before. Let me see if I can find any new one I have not seen.

Thanks Kim.... I have no doubt, reaching to certain level of understanding requires pain and suffering, and some have no idea what that is.

A very thought provoking poem, Pashang. Many deep existential ponderings. But that third line, I'm not buying. God said drunks can't enter into His Holy Kingdom ... so God being drunk is an oxymoron. You tried to slide that one by, nice try. But this Catcher-in-the-Rye is always gonna have an open Third Eye, to discern between the moth and the butterfly. Love and peace always.

Intriguing thoughts on life and death Pashang. My brother likes to think of us as leaves on a tree by a fast flowing river. We grow, we die, then fall back into the continuous stream of consciousness. I like the idea of God getting drunk.
