Finite

Finite

In all there glory

I see only that what is present in front of me.

Fire breathing monsters are not immortal

They are like everything perishable

Darkness too will end someday 

Under the cover of light

Running away from it, it will find some other ally

On the verge another universe shall begin

With new laws and realities

That will beckon into nothingness

It will be vast and fulfilling

Yet I am sitting here thinking about finite.

How stupid is that??

Experimental, your views on it??

" Fire breathing monsters are not immortal "

This particular line seems to resonate the most within me both because of the imagery conveyed and the meaning behind the line, as well as what I perceive to be the strong emotion strengthening the overall message behind your poetry. It was, as a whole, a piece that seemed to tackle the concept of including the broad spectrum of the universe and was intriguing as a whole. Although, one might note, comparing anything to the sheer size of the universe would make everything seem irrelevant. Why would the finite compare when it resides within the realm of seeming infinity? Well, many reasons. Our little slice of the universe is most likely the only slice we will ever have to perceive and the only slice wherein we are relevant, and we should devote our time to ensuring that our issues are resolved and our existence, however short compared to the span of the universe, is quite comfortable.

I adored the thoughts that came with this. Well done.

Thank you Tai :) I adore the fact that it made you think this way. This was exactly about the frustration that I have sometimes, thinking about the small insignificant lifetime of mine and how sometimes I feel there is a bigger picture and how my contribution doesnot matter.

Not sure what makes it experimental, unless you just mean different for you. It is a good poem with clever images. I think you meant their, and not there. I am not sure about the line "thinking about finite" -- thinking about what is finite?

Thinking about how much small fraction of the universe can I truly understand and how it does not matter how much I learn, I feel like I know so less and so small in the grand scheme of things.

Very interesting. I got a sort of thinking in circles vibe, like it all comes back around in the end. Very interesting and thought provoking read. Well done sir!
