Flickering Dawn

[as always:

One or two errors, yes, deliberate though
Grammar only restricts creativity's flow]

Standing upon the pillar of asunder
Of billowing clouds and twit-twat thunder
Corrodes the feeble and sulks them in defeat
The tears mingling rain at their mudded feet

Of winds that bring cries and hopes afresh
Of crowds of ants that democratically enmesh
Of people that flutter and birds that walk
And blind that see the deaf who talk

Phoenix, ashes, blackness, some coal
Was brought by fire, some angel stole
As God looks away, and lets Providence slip
Like a bloom of a flower, from a withering nip.

On the Existence of Man in Two Worlds

The existence of Man can be understood as being fluid. It is unbound by time and space, and it flows freely into the metaphysical space. A belief in the conception of such a space is faith, and discovering it is gnostic success. On account of being surrounded by an abundance of the physical, it is tedious to identify the metaphysical. The dearth of knowledge about the metaphysical makes us ignorant and unintelligent, even if we are intelligent in the physical space or world. The identification of the physical, and the laws which govern it, are obvious to quite a few, and even if the commoner has not seen the atom, the commoner believes it by virtue of a trust in the knowers of the physical world: the scientists and so forth. Those who have correctly identified the metaphysical and the laws which govern it, are the prophets, and their knowledge is undeniably superior, for the metaphysical is everlasting. Understandably, for a commoner to identify the atom after years of study and speculation is relatively easier then identifying the existence of reality via gnosis and knowledge of the metaphysical. Hence, physical space is only an illusion of the metaphysical (the real) [Inayat Ali]. The physical space can be vaguely analogous to viewing the world from satellite pictures, whereas in reality, there is a lot more going on, in a very fluid way, unlike the stagnant portrait picturized by the satellite. Here, it would be appropriate to draw an analogy between the satellite, and the human mind, for both are limited, and an escape from the ‘orbit’ is mandatory to uncover the Truth. It is also mandatory to uncover the metaphysical, or at the very least have faith in its existence, in order for one’s self to escape from the physical space, once the latter collapses on Man. Otherwise, one would be confused and a poor fit in the metaphysical- the state which is real and eternal.
