The unknown

What is this? Abstract, uncertain and elusive Myriad colors drowned In inevitability, fallibility and vulnerability Soaked in joy's' unavailability To many parched and thirsty souls Playful creatures come and go They laugh and weep Over the rule of resolve unseen Who is the master, Where is he or she, and why? Many tried to search but failed Ages have passed But the mystery continues Beyond thought and imagination The world bows before the unknown And pays the spineless obeisance Like the time and space do Destiny rules disguised Many tried to lift the veil To see its face, but to no avail Eternity is impervious The mystery continues Knowledge and wisdom fail Oasis in the desert Like faint smile in the ocean of sorrow The moments often bring solace But the life is much beyond Cruel time returns unabated Rejuvenating the grief If at all the nature's fiat was different Life could be joy and joy alone One understands, but that is not all Reason does not prevail Craving continues And the inability takes over.
