Echoes at the Horizon

Now,
they hear with their ears,
but speak with their eyes,
and see only through mouths
molded by chaos.

Who dares unravel
this maze of sense?
The nerves of reason—
twisted, tangled, undone.

What once stood sacred,
a truth etched in stone,

Now - they smear doubt,
drape it in falsehood's veil.
Consumed instead
With painting evil as virtue.

Even on straight paths,
Their steps stagger—
Chasing illusions,
Hoping for sweet water's lake

in barren lands.

In the blaze of progress,
They forsake values—
Centuries of wisdom
Teetering at ruin’s edge.

I am but a passing breeze,
a bubble adrift in the stream,
watch this storm swirl.
Yet, unyielding,
I press forward— 

carrying whispers of resolve
From the bend of this horizon.

  Notes Toward a Mountain At the sight of distant hills something restless moved within me. I followed a rhythm not named, a private summons beating faintly in the heart. The path turned and returned on itself. At places, marsh. At places, stone and thorn that tore the skin of intention. Yet the summit persisted, reappearing in the mind, insistent. I walked on, inventing the way as I went, ignorant of jackal, scorpion, snake. Now the ascent. No visible track. What had seemed, from a distance, marvellous stood near at hand as brute accumulation, tree and rock without promise. Water spoke everywhere, yet showed itself nowhere. The cries of animals merged with birds, with the thin friction of wind. Let me pause. Let me speak sense to the heart. Why should what appeared miraculous from afar now instruct me in fear? My shadow lengthened beyond me. Perhaps it was already evening. I advanced slowly, breathing the weight of the moment, appealing without words to what surrounded me. Silence...
  Glacier A glacier— a wandering traveler in the endless sea, drifting on who knows how long. It has swayed with countless storms, danced with reckless waves. Scorching heat, biting cold— none could shake it. It leaves behind a faint trail of bubbles, but in the next moment, the sea erases them. An endless struggle, a peculiar tussle with the sea. New suns, new hues emerge each day. This sea, within itself, Has hidden its existence, And it Slowly dissolves, In the embrace of the sea. ---------------------------
  Swarm of Locusts A wall—dense, dark, foreboding— crawls closer, rattling with menace. Some hide, fear-stricken, helpless. Some in preparation, to annihilate the destruction, Some- Calm, silent, unaware— Detached in an intoxicating dream. From afar, the thickening darkness looms, deepening in its relentless rhythm. Forked tongues lash out, ready to devour. The third eye, blazing embers, threatens to incinerate all. One thought echoes through all: trees will be trampled, mountains crushed, rivers and streams erased, leaving desolation in their wake. A strange hum Piercing everyone’s ears.  They sit huddled, watching in fear— Uncertain of when this Uncertain of when this madness will pass.  --------------
