No where at all - 1

by Ashok Sharda

No where at all - 1

 

 

They kept on moving

Right there

Nowhere at all.

 

The paths were known

And numerous

Though

They arrived nowhere.

 

They went on creating barriers

In the disguise of goals, within

Perpetuating inertia

Bit by bit.

 

They kept on moving

Right there

Nowhere at all.

 

They kept on creating illusions

Magnifying hefty words

So much that

They lost meaning of the meaning.

 

They kept on registering nothingness

In the disguise of something

Reinforcing the barriers so much

That they lost meaning of BEING.

 

They kept on moving

Right there

Nowhere at all.

 

Applauded they were, indeed!

But the beginning was still afar

They stood fast there

Went nowhere at all.

 

In the course of this journey

They arrived nowhere

They went on chasing the TIME

While the TIME went on chasing them.

 

They kept on moving

Right there

Nowhere at all.

If they went any faster, they would have to speed up to stop, haha! Nicely written Ashok, perpetual 1 ness. Peace...

A fascinating observation... and so often true.

I take it back, I like this one better than # 2. I relate so much to verse number 3. It is a brilliant statement of how our our efficient organizational machines spin our wheels and go nowhere at times. And then comfort ourselves with more illusions. Great poem, Ashok.

You need to make a book. The philosophy of Ashok. I find you as thought provoking as the philosphers I study!

nowhere at all, is as vital a place and meriting a journeying, as any undertaking that gets you somewhere.
