Universe Is Great

Just because I wear black glasses
Does it mean the universe is black?
Just because I find thorns and bushes 
Does it mean all face the same too?
Just because I see one side of the globe
Does it mean there’s no other side at all?
When Red signals stop my movements
Don’t green signals allow others to move?
The universe is not a little textile piece 
To measure, slice, sew and showcase.
It has gold, yet, it’s not gold;
It has diamonds, yet, it’s no diamond.
It’s a mixture; an amalgamation –
Of colors, forms, shapes, flavors,
Rhymes, rhythms, humans, beasts…
It’s a treasure of philosophies, theologies,
Truths, myths, anecdotes, fables, epics…
Only having removed our color-glasses of 
Likes and dislikes; and made our minds
Clear, clean, white papers unsoiled 
And perceive through the light of faith
Can we fully know its sacred secrets!
Isn’t true discernment of deserts and
Deserted paths the magic of wisdom…!
Yet, no tree can be fully fruitful
In the ever wide wild orchid of wisdom;
No seeker gains absolute enlightenment
In the endless school of experience
The universe, so far, has never opened 
Its doors of secrets entirely to anyone…

Yes. Universe is till beyond perception and realization of Humans. Humans are exploring part by part. Well done, Dear! Blessings

we are always so quick to assume and judge and think we know, but indeed as you say, some things are a mystery, and better left at that. Nicely written piece dear Chris. Love your creativity. :)
