Beyond Isms

                                                Picture: Me

And on an afternoon like this,
a moment ruined
by the rain, would have 
simply asked someone,
"What is the purpose of life?"

The union of
Earth and Sky 
would have happened-
a mild reflection
in a small puddle
and immeasurable love.

The arrow of surrender
would have struck a heart
and a dream would have
osmosed into
'letting go'.

The grave of some eye
would have been adorned by
plastic flowers of patience.

A tear would have dropped
on someone's lips,
proud of its own flavour.

Time is impotent, you know.
It realizes our fantasies;
they come true,
dreams like 'You'.

What is reality, I ask,
a popsicle?

Who should I give up,
You?
Hah!
