Gift of a Man


            Mysterious as the milky waters
            Trapped in the husk of a coconut fruit,
            The gift of a man alters
            The course of destiny.
           
            And not just his but an entire race’,
            Redefining, reshaping and redirecting its strictest rule;
Willing it to switch its destructive run
Wielding the simple tool of genius.

We can only imagine
The propensities created when a man thinks;
When what is mortal gives in to immortality.
Shallow deep screaming for baseless deep
As the human faculty is granted reprieve
To roam the hallowed recess of the inner mystery.

Sacred portals tossed;
Treasures in darkness dragged across the threshold;
And not by giants who sleep ‘n repose.

The eyes of discovery-
The very hands of ingenuity
Seeks, privately but intently
For the solitary mind that thinks still.
