The other side of the reality.
by Ashok ShardaThe other side of the reality.
1.
Waking up from a dream
Thought Lao-t-zu
Was it I
Dreaming I was butterfly
Or is it the butterfly, now,
Dreaming I.
2.
He is a better dog
Than I am
I called him my dog
Now I wonder
If I am not his man.
3.
After having interacted with the
Mortal physical entity
Known as man
The ghost wondered
If this was not
Just a creation of his mind
Known as man.
These are philosophical anecdotes. I have just arranged them in a poetic fashion in my own way. 12/05/2003 Posted on 12/05/2003

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 12/05/03 at 09:31 PM Typical philosophizing; the first two stanzas from a fresh perspective. The age old questions. What philosopher said, "I think, therefore I am."? I guess that is Common Sense or Pragmatic Philosophy. |

| Posted by Agnes Eva on 12/15/03 at 06:46 PM i like how it bounces back and forth in perception. reminds me of how real it feels when i fly in dreams. very beautifully arranged poetry of those philosophical thoughts, by the way! |
