POEMS GROUP 23: DHARMAH Category 4: Manifestations

1. Insanity
2. Moment of Truth

DHARMAH - MANIFESTATIONS I:

INSANITY

insanity's quite often underrated
in fact, some nicest things have seen the ink to paper
under the spell
of alleged insanity:

at least
in these in stances
insanity has been shown
to be the cure for total inanity

if, by any chance, insanity should win,
in the end,
know you should
that sometimes I do quite enjoy that state:
it helps me understand
the relativity
of reality

DHARMAH - MANIFESTATIONS II:

MOMENT OF TRUTH

we measure truth in moments sometimes
to underline their singularity
their uniqueness on a world of smoke and mirrors
how I wish for things to be simple
and truthful
and kind

the biggest disappointment:
that the world is not as it could be
but as it is

and that dreams
don't make it so

and that all our doings
may just be bouts of inanity
insanity even
fighting windmills
like hurling insults at god
and at nature

do windmills listen?
does god really care?
or nature, the same?

so
in this
crucial
moment
what
do we choose?
